Beverly Jane (Cooper) Wilson, 64, of Jonesborough, Tennessee, formerly of Erwin, Tennessee passed away Friday October 7, 2022.
She was preceded in death by two brothers, Keith Cooper and Kenny Cooper, parents Charlie T. Cooper and Faye Randolph Cooper.
Left to cherish her memory are husband of 46 years Steve Wilson, son Travis Wilson- (Felisha). Also, survived by her daughter Bethany Rogers- (Austin), brother Tom Cooper- (Mary Etta), four grandchildren: Maquinna Wilson, Kaedon Wilson, Charlie Rogers and David Rogers.

Brothers in law, Doug Wilson and Bill Wilson, special Aunts Cecil Bradford, and Elizabeth “Lib” Cooper, best friend and sister Ida Deyton, and cousin Sue Buckner. Also several cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Jane was employed by the Yancey County, North Carolina School System as a teacher’s aide. Later she worked as a CNA at Erwin Health Care Center. She was a gifted caretaker, caring for her mother and others in her home for many years.
She loved gardening, canning, and her multiple flower beds. She enjoyed traveling and meeting people. She was active in various homeschool groups as she homeschooled her children, when Steve’s work required travel to other areas of the country.
She loved her Lord and Savior and looked for opportunities to tell others of his love and grace.
She was a kind and caring person. She was always putting others before herself. She never counted anything too hard to lend a helping hand no matter what the circumstance was. She also drove many miles to help a brother or a sister in Christ or pray with a lost sinner.
Special thanks to Caris Healthcare nurses and staff.

I was so sorry to hear of Jane's passing. She was a saint if there ever was one. She was so beautiful and kind and you could just see Jesus in her. I'm praying for comfort for her loved ones.

So sorry to hear of the passing of a distant cousin. I had no seen Jane in many many years, but learned over the many years of her faithful gestures to family and friends. But most of all, her love for God. She was a beautiful person.

Steve and family, our prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. We would be there if it were not for Covid. We don’t want to spread it.

As we travel down life's pathway and through the throes of life which suddenly come our way; when you feel like you can't survive and look out your window and see someone coming from Tennessee to N.C. time after time after time; then, you know you have a dedicated and committed friend. This is who Jane Wilson was for me. My gratitude to her family for sharing so much of her time with me is beyond measure.
