Carolyn Adams Wilson passed away peacefully at Bethany House in Auburn, Alabama on June 15, 2024.  Her infectious smile and wonderful soul will be missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing her. Carolyn was born on August 22, 1933 in Andalusia Alabama to parents Morgan Andrew Adams and Madelyn Mills Adams.  She attended Auburn University, graduating in 1955 with a bachelor’s degree in Home Economics.  Carolyn worked as a dietician until she met and married the love of her life, Charles Wilson, in 1959.  She enjoyed travel, cooking, reading, going for long walks, and mostly being with her family.  Carolyn was an advocate for eating right and exercising every day.  She had a sparkle in her green eyes, a determined spirit, and sharp mind every day of her 90 years.

Carolyn was proceeded by her parents, Morgan and Madelyn Adams, her loving husband Charles Wilson, her twin sister Marilyn Adams Mosley and her brother, Lt. Col. Ben Adams, (USMC, ret.)  She is survived by two loving daughters, Diane Wilson DeSee and Barbara Wilson Whiteside, grandchildren Samuel Whiteside, Scott Whiteside, Rachel Whiteside, and Devin DeSee, along with her extended family, Tom DeSee, husband of Diane DeSee, brother-in-law Bob Mosley, nephews Robert (Chip) Mosley, Cameron (Andy) Mosley, and niece Carol Mosley White.
