The Surprise Millionaires

Birmingham Alabama resident, Bette Wilson, shocked her friends and neighbors by leaving $2.52 million to assist with the establishment of a church camp along the Cahaba River. Known to fellow parishioners as the “hat lady”, Mrs. Wilson was a fixture at her local church for over 50 years and famous for wearing many memorable hats.  Imagine the surprise of everyone around her when this retiree on a “fixed income” was found to be a multi-millionaire!
