She was born on May 1,1934 in Beaumont, TX. Mary Nita graduated from South Park High School in Beaumont, class of 1952. In 1953 she married Milton Silas Wing also from Beaumont. In 1954 they moved to Lake Jackson where they raised their family and made lifelong friends. A life well lived.
She was a member of the philanthropic Beta Sigma Phi social sorority group since 1960. She was a life member and supporter of the Wing Family of America, Inc., Wings of Texas and Wing Fort House in Sandwich, MA. She was a contributor and former board member of the Lake Jackson Historical Museum.
Mary Nita enjoyed extensive travel with her husband and family. She loved her road trips and exploring her Louisiana roots. They shared many happy days at their second home in Point Blank on Lake Livingston.
She was an avid collector of unique and antique kitchen utensils she found in her travels. An excellent cook, she enjoyed sharing her recipes and learning of new dishes from all of her friends. She always had a book in her hands and reading gave her endless pleasure. Thanks to her the holidays were always celebrated in style.
Mary Nita was preceded in death by her husband Milton of 56 years, her parents Hart and Olite Berwick, brothers Ronnell and John Berwick.
She is survived by daughter Ginger (Bill) Schmidt of Jones Creek and sons Phillip Wing of San Antonio and Clifton Wing (Sharon) of Round Rock.

My father Willie James Wilson is Mary Nita's first cousin.She and my mother Wynona were pregnant at the same time in the very hot summer of 1953 in Beaumont Tx . Each had a firstborn son in the fall. Milton , Mary Nita , and their three children were travelers and I always anticipated their visits to Beaumont.
In recent years it has been a pleasure talking to Mary Nita and my cousins about our shared history.Mary Nita was always gracious in helping me fill in details regarding Ancestry. I will miss her greatly especially her never failing to end our conversations with " Love You ".
Phillip,Ginger,and Clifton words cannot express the sadness of her loss. Be assured of my love and sympathy.
Your cousin,
Walter James Wilson II

I'm SSOO sorry to hear of Mary Nita's passing....
SO many memories flooding through my head!!!
She was at Ashley Travis' wedding where I played music.
I played a Fats Dominoe song, "Blueberry Hill", I think, and she got emotional.
She told me It reminded her of the first trip Milton and she took to New Orleans and they saw Fats perform.
Later, I played another Fats Dominoe song and I made sure I danced with her for that one.
Every time I hear a Fats Dominoe song, I think of Mary Nita...
Needless to say, that sweet lady will be missed....
