After a long and fulfilling career, Mattie retired from her work at V/A Hospital in 2007. Her dedication to caring for others was evident in all aspects of her life.

When she wasn't working, Mattie enjoyed spending time with her family and indulging in her passion for cooking. She could often be found pursuing her hobbies of cooking, gardening, browsing antique shops, and exploring thrift stores. She had a passion for finding unique treasures and creating delicious meals for her loved ones. Her culinary skills were a source of joy for not only her family but for others in the neighborhood. 

As we mourn the loss of Mattie Wilson, we also celebrate the countless memories and moments of love she shared with us. She will forever hold a special place in our hearts.
