Carol Ann Wilson, nee Cato, of Cuba, MO, was born on Tuesday, March 31, 1959 in St. Louis, MO, to Shirley Ann Cato. She passed away at her home in Cuba, MO, on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at the age of 66 years and 13 days.

Carol grew up between St. Louis, MO and Poplar Bluff, MO. She had worked as a cook for various schools, restaurants and nursing homes.

Carol had accepted the Lord early in life and was baptized last summer in the Meramec River with her son, Dylan. She had a tattoo that said, “I Belong to Jesus,” that she was extremely proud of. Carol enjoyed reading, gardening, planting vegetables, flowers and anything else she could make grow. She loved the outdoors; whether it was time spent at the river, hiking, bird watching, or looking for arrowheads and neat rocks.
