Bob and Pam Wilson

Marion has been home to Bob and his family since moving from Zeigler in September of 1953.  At the age of thirteen Bob moved to Marion and began his freshman year in High School.  He graduated from the Kentucky School of Mortuary Science in 1963 and continues to serve the Community as a Funeral Director in Marion.  He is an active member of Second Baptist Church, where he attends with his wife Pam.  Bob and his wife, the former Pam Peot, reside south of Marion on the Lake of Egypt.  Bob is a member of the noon Marion Lions Club and Fellowship Masonic Lodge 89 A.F. & A.M. of Marion.  His participation in the community has included memberships in several local groups and volunteering for several years for the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association.  The Wilson-McReynolds Funeral Home is now located at the corner of North Court Street and West Boulevard.  This is the location of the former McKinley Grade School and across the street from the location of the former Frick Funeral Home, a predecessor of Wilson-McReynolds Funeral Home.  As a teenager Bob surveyed all areas of Marion, as a possible location for a new funeral home.  In considering a location, he would always come back to the McKinley School property.  In May of 1982 a devastating tornado would strike the community of Marion destroying many homes, businesses and the McKinley Grade School.  Seven years later the school property was offered for sale by sealed bid and Bob and Dave were blessed by their bid being accepted.  Followed by many events, rejected architect plans and a final design by Bob and Dave, the new Wilson-McReynolds Funeral Home was completed and opened for business, January 12, 1998.  Bob plans to continue to keep busy with the every day operation of the funeral home, caring for the needs of families, along with an active involvement in the community of Marion.      
When considering your needs for planning a funeral service feel free to stop by and discuss your many options with Bob or a member of our staff.
