She was predeceased by her husband of 68 years, John DeForest Wilson, seven brothers: Paul Schwartz, Harry Mednick, Phillip Mednick, Al Mednick, Sol Mednick, Meyer Mednick and Hy Mednick; and a sister, Toby Schneider. She was also predeceased by many dear brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law who were loved as deeply by her as if they were her own brothers and sisters.
