KATRINA ESGRO WILSON of Memphis, retired manicurist, died Sunday in Memphis. Services will be at 11:00 A.M. Wednesday at Memphis Funeral Home Union Chapel with burial in FOREST HILL MIDTOWN CEMETERY. She was a member of Salvation Army, Bellevue Baptist Church, Trinity Broadcasting Network and The 700 Club. She leaves a son, Frank F. Esgro, Jr., of Memphis; a sister, Leona Glenn of Foreman, Ark., and three grandchildren.

Many times I was told that Aunt Katrina's first name was inspired by the "little Dutch girl" in the tale "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," by Washington Irving (1783-1859). She was, like her siblings, talented artistically. She could model in clay, sketch, paint, and sing.
To use one word to describe my Aunt Katrina, it would be "content." She was a loving and cheerful person with an ever ready smile. She was never shy about sharing her Christian beliefs, even with strangers. It was her strong beliefs that influenced her grandchildren and nieces.
Katrina first married Frank Francisco Esgro 9 July 1939 in Memphis, Shelby Co., Tennessee. They had one child together. They bought their first home March 5, 1947. (Deed). Katrina next married 6 March 1952 to Francis T. Wilson.
