Jennie Alberta Wilson of Casper passed away peacefully surrounded by family on January 29, 2016. She was born January 22, 1927 in North Bend, WA to Lawrence and Louisa McQueen.

She met and married Clifford R. Wilson while he was stationed in Port Angeles, WA. In 1946 they moved to Casper, where they raised their four children. Jennie was a homemaker until going to work as a nurse’s aide at Natrona County Memorial Hospital in 1968, retiring around 1988.

She was a member of the BPO Does for many years. She enjoyed hunting, fishing, crocheting, knitting, baking, ceramics, attending John Japp Auctions and shopping.
