Teddy Wilson

March 24, 1948 — June 7, 2025

Newport

Teddy Boyd Wilson, 77, of Newport, formerly of Harkers Island, passed away on Saturday, June 7, 2025, at Croatan Ridge Nursing Center.

Teddy was born on March 24, 1948, in Harkers Island, N.C. to the late Dewey and Daphne Wilson. He lived a life of hard work and purpose. Teddy worked for many years on the Minnesott ferry, where he was known for his dedication and reliability. His strong work ethic was an asset to his profession. He loved the outdoors and was always ready for hunting season, whether it was deer in the fall, waterfowl in winter, or turkey in the spring.

Teddy loved working in his yard especially mowing his grass. A man of quiet strength and loyalty, may his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.

Those remaining to cherish his memory are his daughters, Shelly Wilson of Newport, N.C., Erica Hyland San Antonio, Texas; life partner, Cookie McGeary of the home; grandchildren, Hunter Hyland, Wyatt Hyland, and London Hyland.

In addition to his parents, Teddy was preceded in death by his brother, Dewey Wayne Wilson Jr.
