A western Kentucky woman is turning 100 years old and is sharing her memories of life in the region. Evelyn George Wilson, who turned 100 on Dec. 30, and her late husband, Tommy J. Wilson, a former Carlisle County judge-executive, had 11 children, eight of whom are still living. She is referred to as “G-mama” by her grandchildren and has kept a diary since the 1950s.
A couple of decades ago, she published her first book, a 1,000 page novel titled “This Is My Story This Is My Song” about her life. She said, “I’ve typed 1000 pages and written my life story so that was quite a job to do.”
