Family

Named for Frances Kathrine Anselmo Wilkinson

1920–2010 · Wilkinson's Grocery and Meat Market

Frances kept Wilkinson’s Grocery in Galveston for decades after Covy died — one of the last corner markets on the island. The name on this farm is hers. Todd and Tatum Wilkinson keep the yard in Heathwood; Best Friends Honey is what we sell from it today.
