She married Larry Parsons and they had two children Carrie and Christopher Parsons. She owned and operated Tavia’s Flowers and then worked as receptionist for Dr. Jim Ambrose. In 1998, she married Bill Wilson and together they ran Mr. Bill’s until 2010, when they retired.

Her favorite pastimes included collecting antiques, decorating, and traveling. She looked forward each year to the MHS Alumni festivities. Her dogs Dixie and Dandy were a big part of her life. Tavia was a member of ESA (Epsilon Sigma Alpha) and Wildflowers, and worked with the Greer Country Museum Board.
