Mary Margaret (Cardot) Wilkinson (82) of Canton, IL joined Jesus on Sunday December 15, 2024 with her husband by her side.
She was born May 18, 1942 in Canton, to Clifford and Jean (Brush) Cardot. She married Donald W. Wilkinson on September 27, 1968 in Canton, IL, and together they raised four children, John (Kathy) Lafferty, Annette Lafferty, Brian (Danette) Wilkinson, and Christopher (Nicci) Wilkinson. Mary is survived by her husband Don, their children, 10 grandchildren, 8 great-grandchildren, her sisters Anita Heaton, Camille Plunk, Carol Wages, and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, and sisters Cathy Parkinson and Marty Hopkins. She was a 1960 graduate of Canton high school and attended St. Mary's Catholic Church where she taught CCD for several years. She also served as everyone's favorite lunch lady, at Ingersoll Middle School. She retired in 2004 from the Canton Police Department where she was a dispatcher for 16 years. Mary was known and loved for her quick wit and sense of humor. Her biggest joy in life was spending time with her family. She enjoyed spending time with her 5 sisters over the years and their get-togethers. The family would like to thank the staff at The Loft in Canton and Dawn Giacabazi and staff of Serenity Point Hospice for the kindness and care you provided. Cremation rites have been accorded through Oaks-Hines Funeral Home and Crematory in Canton and a celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorials may be made to St. Mary's Food Pantry in Canton.
