A native of Greenville, Mississippi, Mary Wilson whose parents picked cotton went on to become an icon. She along with Diana Ross and the Supremes gave all Black girls inspiration that they could rise above their circumstances.
A classic beauty, we saw her recently on Dancing with the Stars. Upon learning of Wilson's death, Diana Ross commented that "Everyday is a gift." Truly, it is! We should give thanks to The Lord everyday for letting us see the bright sunshine of another day. We salute you Mary Wilson and offer our condolences to your family. RIP.
We remember the songs. We remember the beautiful glittery gowns. We remember you!
