Holly Mullen, wife of former Salt Lake City Mayor Ted Wilson, and the Wilson family have shared that Ted passed away today at age 84 due to congestive heart failure and Parkinson’s disease. The family is planning a memorial, and details will be released at a later time.
Statement by the family:
“Ted Wilson passed today surrounded by family. As the eternal optimist, he loved people and they loved him back. We are honored that his memory will live on in the legacy he built as Salt Lake City Mayor, through the countless people he has taught and mentored, his decades of humanitarian service, and his mountaineering accomplishments. Ted’s lifetime priorities were his family and public service. He built and nurtured many deep and meaningful friendships and would remind us all to ‘never sweat the small stuff.'”
