Wilson was a passionate football supporter who made multiple trips to Melbourne from Launceston each year to watch her beloved Carlton Blues play, according to the Carlton Cheersquad.

“Her love of women’s sport extended to her local clubs in Launceston where she volunteered as a water girl and trainer for many years despite many health issues,” the squad said.

Jude’s Café, where Wilson worked for more than a decade, described her as someone who brought joy to the workplace with her “big smile and even bigger heart”.

“She loved nothing more than to share with us updates of her family, particularly her niece and nephews,” the café said.

“The only thing that could rival her love for family was her love for sport and her banter about it always kept us on our toes.”
