Obituary

Mr. Woodrow Wilson, Jr., well known as "Pedro" and "Boo", son of Estelle Rollerson Wilson and the late Woodrow Wilson, Sr., was born August 24, 1953 in St. Stephen, South Carolina. On Friday, April 30, 2010, he was called home to be with the Lord. Woodrow was educated in the public schools of Berkeley County School District. He was a 1975 graduate of St. Stephen High School. At an early age, he joined Good Shepherd R. E. Church, Bonneau, South Carolina. He served as parking attendant, and was recently appointed as Vice-President of the Usher Board. For many years, he was employed at Carolina Nursery, at Umphlett Lumber Company, with Rev. Melvin McClennon as a brick mason helper, and as a tractor driver on McClennon Farm. Woodrow was well-known in the community, and well-liked by many. He not only took his service in the church serious, but he also volunteered his service as a parking attendant at community functions, or just lending a helping hand wherever it was needed. Woodrow also served as a firefighter with the Forty-One Volunteer Fire Department for over thirteen years. He was a member of The Men's Bible Study Group, The 41 Brotherhood, and The 41Community Committee. Woodrow will be missed by many in the church, in the community, at the Gambro Dialysis Center of Kingstree, South Carolina, and especially his family and friends. Now he is serving as parking attendant and usher with the Lord. His father, Woodrow Wilson, Sr. and one brother, Robert Lee Wilson, preceded him in death. Woodrow leaves to cherish his fond memories: A loving mother, Estelle R. Wilson, of the home; four brothers, Robert "Bobby" G. Rollerson of New York, NY, James (Alfreda) Wilson, Johnnie Wilson, and Joe Nathaniel (Velma) Wilson, all of St. Stephen, South Carolina; six sisters, Carrie Rollerson, Margaret (Bernard) Owens, Annie Mae (Leon) Milford, Barbara (Nathaniel) Milford, Alyce Wilson, all of St. Stephen, South Carolina, and Cellamena Theirse of Pineville, South Carolina; sister-in-law, Marilyn S. Wilson of St. Stephen, South Carolina; one aunt, Rebecca Rollerson Middleton of St. Stephen, South Carolina; a special cousin, Mary Lee Swinton of St. Stephen, SC; Isaac Pressley, a close friend who was like a brother, making sure he had transportation to his doctor appointments; other special friends, Rev. & Mrs. Don and Debra Shaw and Mr. & Mrs. Sam and Bertha Middleton; a host of nieces and nephews, and many, many cousins, other relatives, friends.
