Carol Ann Wilson, 68, of Brookline, MA, gained eternal freedom from this earth on October 3, 2016 at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
An honors graduate of Julie Billiart Central High School, Carol majored in English and Government at Boston University and Wayne State University, then went on to earn a Law Degree from Chicago-Kent College of Law. In the early 1990s, after years of working in Law, she escaped the confines of an office for the freedom of an exciting new career as an author. As a novelist she published two historical romance novels. Later in life she poured her heart and soul into caring for her elderly mother and youngest grandchild.
Carol had a fondness for travel and was well cultured. She once described herself as
“A lover of history, a realist, a one-time feminist, and a nomad of true freedom.”
May the Lord bless those she left behind as she experiences eternal freedom in Heaven
