Catherine Ann Wilson

March 11, 2026

Catherine Ann Wilson, 83, passed away Friday, February 20, 2026, at the Greeley County Hospital, surrounded by her loving family.

Ann was born on Easter Sunday, April 5, 1942, in Okmulgee, Okla., to Clarence and Margaret (St. Clair) Ogle, Jr. She grew up in Rock Springs, Wyo.

From her first marriage, she was blessed with five children: Helen and Patrick Clark of Wichita, Janet and Randy Crittenden of Horace, Joanie Myers of Horace, Nancy and Von Johnston of Dighton, and John and Kandace Kennis, Jr. of Garden City.

Ann moved to Tribune in the late 60s, where she raised her children and started her career as a District Magistrate Judge. She ran unopposed until her retirement in 2005.

On December 31, 1980, Ann married Harold G. Wilson, and together they raised the children and grandchildren until his death on April 4, 2005.

Ann loved playing cards, board games, traveling, KU Basketball, cross-stitch, crocheting, and puzzles. She loved her family and friends and spending time with them. She was always up for an adventure. Ann said she was always busier following the grandkids’ activities than she ever was while on the bench. She has 19 grandchildren and 68 great-grandchildren.

She made the most out of each moment. Togetherness, love, kindness, faith, and family were her motives in life! She was strong in her faith until the very end! We read her scripture and prayed every day for seven weeks while she prayed for Jesus and going to Heaven.

Ann was a devoted mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and aunt, and she enjoyed each and every moment spent with her family.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Clarence and Margaret (St. Clair) Ogle, Jr., her husband, Harold Gene Wilson, her brother, Jere Clair Ogle, one granddaughter, Holly Shay Myers, two great-grandsons, Ezra Kai Welsh, and Greysen Ray Holmes, and one nephew, Daniel Prime.

Ann is survived by her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, and her siblings - sisters - Susan Prime of Colorado Springs, Colo.; Karen and Ramiro Gutierrez of Castle Rock, Colo.; Mary and Chuck McMillan of Garden City, and brother - John and Gail Ogle of Russell, as well as many nieces & nephews.
