Thomas H. Wilson, age 79, entered his eternal rest on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at Martin-Boyd Christian Home in Chattanooga, TN.
Tommy was the son of the late Henry and Vera Spain Wilson of Coopertown, TN.
His beloved wife of 44 years, Katie Brake Wilson along with his sister and brother-in-law, Dorena and Ralph Nichols, also predeceased him.
Tommy graduated from Coopertown High School and Nashville Business College. He started working at First American Bank and retired when it was known as AmSouth Bank. Tommy was a lover of all things Country Music and the Grand Ole Opry. He was able to meet several artists, his favorite being Dolly Parton. After his retirement, he worked on the General Jackson and managed the Holiday House of Springfield. Tommy enjoyed clogging, square-dancing, his nieces and nephews and being a very social person until the disease of Alzheimer’s began to take its toll on him. Up until this time, he was an active member of the Hillcrest Church of Christ.
Tommy is survived by his nieces and their husbands: Faith Ann (Allen) Gunn, Dianne (Randy) Simmons, and Glynda Kay (Greg) Turner. He also loved dearly Katie’s many nieces and nephews.
