Ina Mae Wilson


Ina Mae Wilson was born February 19, 1932, at Oakley, Kansas, to George and Florence (Hapes) Andersen. As a youngster she grew up on a farm near Benkelman, Nebraska, attending country school. Then, as a teenager, Ina Mae boarded and worked at the Benkelman Hospital while attending Benkelman High School graduating in 1949.

Ina Mae married Jack V. Wilson on September 15, 1949, at the Zion Lutheran Church of Benkelman, where the couple first settled. Ina Mae and Jack then resided in several different communities including Grant and Elwood, Nebraska, following Jack’s career with the State of Nebraska Department of Roads. In 1977,
the couple moved to Imperial, Nebraska, where Jack became the superintendent.
Ina Mae and Jack have made Imperial their home until present.

She was active and lifelong member of the Lutheran Church. Ina Mae enjoyed gardening especially raising flowers and was an excellent cook. Later in life she found a new talent in painting which she loved. Ina Mae was a fun loving and a genuinely nice person who placed everyone above herself, unless you were playing cards or marbles, then it was everyone for themselves!!
