retreat facilitators Sam and Barbara Wilson

Sam and Barbara Wilson’s daughter, Beth, was a victim of domestic violence in March of 2015. They have two other adult children, Jon and Katie, and two precious grandboys, Derek and Brendan. Derek and Brendan are Beth’s children and have been adopted by Jon and his wife. In retirement, Sam and Barbara enjoy the blessing of serving in their local church, hiking and traveling, planting a butterfly garden, trying out new recipes, and avidly reading. Sam thoroughly enjoys amateur photography, and Barbara finds joy in working as a volunteer GED tutor. They desire to share God’s hope and comfort with other parents of murdered children.
