Clyde Anna Elizabeth (Tots) Wilson Fincannon went home to be with her Lord on Tuesday, December 9, 2014.

Her funeral service will be held at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 14, 2014, in the Warlick Funeral  Home Chapel with Pastor Jesse Freeman officiating. The family will receive friends from 2:00 until 3:30 p.m. prior to the service at the funeral home.

She was a homemaker, a momma, wife, sister, grandma, aunt, and friend. Mom made home a home. Mom cooked, gardened, canned, and baked. Mom was there after school before school, in all our ups and downs, good times, and bad. Mom laughed with, played with, and cried with all of us. Mom could keep up with the best of them.

Mom loved her family and always was ready for them to come see her. She looked forward to the visits and being able to spend time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She said she felt needed, wanted, and loved when they came to see her and she could be with them.

Mom taught us all what it means to go on. She was tough, could be stubborn, did what had to be done. As one of her doctor’s told us (respectfully) “she’s one tough bird.” She only complained about not being able to do what she used to do. This was after her health began to decline.

Tots was born on January 22, 1926, to the late Charles Ellis and Rose Ella Reinhardt Wilson of Lincolnton. She is preceded in death by her husband of 53 years, Dennis W. Fincannon, Sr., a daughter Judy Fincannon Thomas, a step-great-grandson Jacob Mosteller, brothers Marshall Wilson, Arlo Wilson, and Russell Wilson, and sisters Bessie Carpenter, Georgia Stone, Luria Taylor, and Lida Mosteller.

Tots is survived by a son, Dennis W. Fincannon, Jr. (Sandra) of Denver; two daughters, Patricia (Penny) Lineberger (Danny “BeepBeep”) of Iron Station, and Annette F. Crouse (Steve) of Vale; grandchildren, Lisa Dawn Thomas, Joe Fincannon, Melissa Alvarado, Rhonda West (Billy), Eric Griffin (Chrissy), and Julia Fincannon; great-grandchildren, Taylor Fincannon, Alex Fincannon, Jonathan Williams, Destiny Martinez, Christian West, and two siblings, Landon Griffin, Riley Griffin, and one sibling; step-grandchildren, Danny Mosteller, Brandon Mosteller, Chris Crouse, Johnny Crouse, and Jackie Beal (Elvis); step-great-grandchildren, Phillip Mosteller, Luke Mosteller, Dallas Mosteller, Dustin, David, Daniel, Darius, Demetrius, and Drake Crouse, Pastor Jesse Freeman (Krystal), Kristin Freeman, Chere Leslie Crouse, and Elizabeth Crouse; and step-great-great-grandchildren, Michael, Ryan, Cherish Freeman, Karla Starr, Chasity Freeman, and Mariah and Issac Melton.
