Margaret Hamilton Wilson, 93, died Thursday, Jan. 9, 2020. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Peggy lived in Detroit when she was young and moved to the Peninsula in 1940.
She graduated from Newport News High School in 1944, where she was a cheerleader. Peggy earned a scholarship to the College of William & Mary; due to the death of her father, she went to work instead. She was a member of Central United Methodist Church. Twice, she was the ladies golf champion of the James River Country Club and also twice made a hole-in-one.
Peggy is survived by her children, Taylor C. “Chris” Wilson III (Brandy), Colbert Scott Wilson and Craig Hamilton Wilson; and two grandchildren, Taylor C. Wilson IV and Andrew Hall Wilson; along with several loved nieces, nephews and great-nephews.
