Rebecca Noel Wilson

February 12, 1989 - May 1, 2023

Rebecca (Becky) Noel Wilson passed on May 1, 2023.  Becky was born February 12, 1989 in Painesville, OH and was raised in Chardon by her parents Art and Carol Wilson.  Her love of music was inherited from and shared with her family, and she always looked forward to seeing some of her favorites in concert. She was a lover of animals and more than once, to the dismay of her parents, brought home a dog in need of a new home. Becky was good-hearted and understood the struggles of others. Even when she was struggling herself, she would do whatever she could to help or support a friend in need.

Becky’s love of music and family was expressed in her body art. In many ways it was an expression of her feelings in a way that held those things close to her always. She touched many hearts and made countless people laugh during her 34 years with all of us.

She is survived by her mother, Carol Wilson, sister Nikki (Dennis) Nevar, and beautiful daughter Cassidy Wilson; grandmother Ivadean Wilson, uncles and aunts John (Rose) Holodniak, Jeff (Brenda) Wilson, Tom Wilson; and cousins Jenn (Rob) Nelson, Kathy (Doug) Wetzel, Alex (Laurel) Wilson, Olivia Wilson (Caleb Haeussler), Jonathan (Heather) Holodniak, Sean Holodniak (Amanda Wiegert).

She was preceded in death by her father, Art Wilson, grandfather and grandmother John and Lee Holodniak, grandfather, George Wilson, uncle and aunt, Dennis and Donna Sears, uncle, David Wilson, and aunt, Karen Holodniak.

Family and friends are invited to her celebration of life on Saturday, May 13th from 1:00 to 5:00 pm at Old Council Hall located 7250 Jackson St., Mentor, OH 44060.  If you have a favorite band t-shirt, please wear it in celebration of Becky. 

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to Lake-Geauga Recovery Centers.

Lawrence L. Wilson

January 29, 1938 - April 14, 2018

Lawrence L. Wilson, 80 of Kirtland, passed from this life to eternity on April 14, 2018. He was never able to fully recover from three major surgeries he had in February.  Born in Cleveland, Ohio he grew up in Cleveland Heights and East Cleveland, graduating from Shaw High School.  Larry joined the Army in 1956 and was stationed in France as a Military Policeman. His high school sweetheart Nancy would join him in France where they were married in February of 1957, and their first child Clifford was born there in May of 1958.  Upon discharge from the Army and returning to Ohio, Larry worked as an electrician in Cleveland; he then attended college, graduating from Kent State with a degree in teaching.  In 1966 Larry would move his family to Kirtland where his wife Nancy would become the Secretary of Kirtland Middle School for the next 30 years.  A daughter, Suzanne, would join the family in 1969. Larry began teaching at Kirk Junior High, then taught at Brush High School from 1967-1979. He started Brush High School’s first electronics program, as well as their initial work study program, (O.W.E.) Occupational Work Experience. Following his teaching career, he joined Raimor Studios, and American School Pictures as their General Manager until he retired in 2004. Larry and Nancy loved to live life together, joining couples golf leagues, training and showing their champion Cardigan Welsh Corgi’s, traveling, cooking, and of course spending time with family and friends.  Retirement did not come easy as Nancy would begin to show the signs of Alzheimer’s. Larry loved and cared for her with all of his heart during those years until she passed in 2015.  His love, care and devotion to Nancy would solidify his legacy to his children, family, and friends.  Lawrence is survived by his son Clifford (Reesa) Wilson, daughter Suzanne (Jim) Yarborough, grandchildren; Tara (Matt) Sheffield, Alexa Wilson, Mitchell Yarborough, Keith Yarborough, Megan Yarborough, and Great Grandson Aaron Sheffield, as well as extended family and friends too numerous to count.  He was preceded in death by his beloved wife Nancy B.
