Sylvia Wilson, 88, beloved Adair County personality, dies Sylvia Wilson brought fame beyond Kentucky to Columbia's hospitality industry with her warm, friendly ways and her remarkable showmanship during 39 years with the Circle R Restaurant Adair Countians are saddened to learn of the death of Sylvia Wilson, 88, 1200 Rooks-Denton Road, Columbia, KY. She died Wednesday, November 28, 2007, at 2:13pm, at Summit Manor Health and Rehab in Columbia, KY. The funeral serice will be Saturday, December 1, 2007, at 1:00pmCT, at Grissom-Martin Funeral Home, 200 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY, with Rev. Dwight Forderhase officiating. Sylvia Wilson was one of a kind, a woman whose memorable ways endeared her to tens of thousands of diners who were charmed by her smile, wit, and vivacious beauty, which she accentuated by her penchant for wearing a different, outsized--and sometimes outrageous--corsage every day she came to work during a tenure which spanned most of the history of the old Circle R Restaurant. She has made a huge a difference in the life of the community, a difference noticed not only by locals and regulars, but visitors, travel writers, newspaper columnists, and radio and Tv reporters, who learned that a picture, story, audio or video clip of "the woman who wears the flowers," would always be winning copy. Her contributions to life here were great. She will be warmly remembered. She was the daughter of the late Zachery Taylor and Etta Floyd Sanders of Adair County. She was preceded in death by her husband, one time Columbia Postmaster William E. "Billy" Wilson; two sons, Donnie and Dickie Wilson; a grandson, Craig Wilson, and by one brother and three sisters, Raymond Sanders, Mary Pendleton, Maggie Collins, and Mabel Rooks.Sylvia Wilson is survived by the following:
