Bernard George Wilson, 87, of Saginaw, MN, passed away February 12, 2021 at St. Luke’s Hospital.

Bernie was born to Irvin and Isabella (Langston) Wilson on July 10, 1933 in North Dakota. He moved with his family to Iowa, then to Northome, MN. His military service relocated him to California, where he met the love of his life, Malley Schulz. They were married in Perris, CA on February 26, 1954, moving to Duluth to start their family. They were blessed with five wonderful daughters. Bernie’s career at the MN Air National Guard allowed them to retire early enough to enjoy 33 years of RVing where they met “many GREAT friends”.

Bernie was preceded in death by his daughter, Bernice; parents; sister, Delia; and brothers, Harlan, Don, and Paul.

Bernie is survived by his loving wife, Malley; daughters, Debbie (Bob) Fish, Judy (Jim) Olson, Wendy (Larry) Hicks, and Connie (Joel) Westphal; 13 grandchildren; and numerous great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces, and friends.
