Of Des Moines, Iowa

Theda Wilson, age 69, passed away peacefully on Monday, May 29, 2017 at Union Park Care Center in Des Moines. She was born on August 11, 1947 in Kansas City, Missouri.

Theda was a proud East High graduate. She worked at Noah’s Ark for 25 years until her retirement. Theda will be remembered for her sweetness, generosity, compassion, not being a pushover, and always on the go!

Above all, she cherished her time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. She will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Those left to cherish her memory include her loving children, Tracy Wilson, Bruce (Nicole) Wilson, and Tiffanie (Marc) Nalls; grandchildren, Bruce Wilson II, LaRon, Kershon, Champaigne, Chardonay, Chablea, Jaden, and Equoia; great-grandchildren, Serenity, Sharai, Layah, Josiah, Jada, and two on the way; sister, Shelia (Alonzo) Mickens-Howard; and sister-friend, Anita Jones.

Theda was preceded in death by her parents, Otto and May Stone; brothers, Charles, Otto Jr., Horse, Gregory, and Robert; and cousin, Elinor Nevilles.
