Cherie Bass Wilson was born on March 23, 1956, to the union of Richard "Bud" & Georgia Lee Knight Bass of Olla, Louisiana. Cherie graduated from Lasalle High School in 1974. She married the love of her life, Darrel Ray Wilson, on December 18, 2004. Cherie loved God, and despite every storm she faced, she remained strong in her faith and always saw the good in others. Cherie was a loving wife, sister, mother, grandmother, and friend to all she met. Her most prized possession in life was her family. She was a demonstration of God's love and had the special ability of making others feel special. We will miss her sweet smile, contagious laughter, kind soul, and the constant encouragement and support. The legacy of her nurturing and loving spirit will be remembered and cherished.
