Hope's Story

The Wilson Family is known and loved by many. Brandon, Hope, Cameron, and Cade have had an amazing bond for all these years. Hope has been a walking miracle since July 2018, surviving a double transplant of her kidney and pancreas. The family has endured several additional setbacks since, including broken bones and an automobile accident.

On November 18th, Hope suffered an intracranial hemorrhage or brain bleed. The neurologists have indicated the bleed is inoperable. With a humble heart we are reaching out to those who may want to support the family through this time of need.  Brandon and Hope do not have life insurance, and Brandon is self-employed.

Hope Wilson Obituary

Hope Wilson, a devoted mother, wife, and cherished friend, entered the arms of the Lord on November 20, 2024, in Gainesville, Georgia, at the age of 49. Born on March 9, 1975, she was the beloved daughter of Cathy Nix Rector and father John Rector. 

Hope's life was a testament to faith, resilience and compassion. She graduated from North Hall High School and earned an associates degree from Gainesville College. Her career as a pharmacy technician spanned almost 3 decades, during which she touched countless lives with her gentle care and unwavering dedication. 

In 1997, Hope married the love of her life and high-school sweetheart Brandon Wilson. Over the span of 27 years, Brandon and Hope inspired thousands due to their unwavering faith after facing multiple trials and tribulations. Their faith in one another was extraordinarily strong, however their faith in God was even stronger. Hope’s love for her two boys, Cameron and Cade, was unwavering. The smile on her face was different when they were present. She always longed to have them near when they were not.  Hope's family was her greatest joy, and she was a constant source of support and inspiration to them. 

Known affectionately as a living, breathing, walking miracle by those who knew her, Hope faced life's challenges with grace and strength. Her kindness and empathy extended well beyond her family, as she was a friend to many and an enemy to none. Her ability to listen and offer comfort made her a cherished confidante to all who crossed her path. Hope’s legacy of love and service will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. 

Hope is survived by both of her parents. She is also survived by her husband of 27 years, Brandon Wilson; her sons Cameron, 25, and Cade (Hannah) Wilson, 23. She is also survived by her brother Jeff (Jennifer) Rector, nieces and nephews, Aiden, Greyson, and Maddox Rector. Uncles and aunts, Chris (Sandra) Nix, Tommy (Brenda) Nix, and Martha Nix. Cousins Jeremy, Andy, Charlie, Matthew, Ginny, Caleb, Scott, and Paige. 

Hope Wilson is preceded in death by sister Sherry Ann Rector, grandparents Ray Edward and Patricia Nix. Aunts Karen and Elizabeth Nix and Jennie Elizabeth Nix. Uncle Eddie Nix, and her father and mother-in-law George and Robbie Wilson. 

Hope will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts of her family and friends. 

Hope's memorial service was held on November 30, 2024, at Little Davenport Funeral Home and Crematory. 

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to The American Kidney Fund or https://givebutter.com/hopewilsonfund. Hope was strongly tied to these associations because of her long battle with diabetes and kidney disease.
