Anthony and Angela,
We are sending our sincere condolences, love and hugs.
Your Mommy's kind words and wise counsel had such an impact on our lives. We knew she only wanted the best for us!
When your parents left Dayton, of course our hearts were broken; but, we still made efforts to stay in contact.
May God comfort you like only HE can until you are together again in Heaven.

Anthony and Angela,

My sister Willie Mae, affectionately known “Bunky”, made a difference in so many lives. We are blessed that her memory is forever a part of our lives. My family and I pray God will bless you, keep you, and give you peace. Bunky is now an angel in heaven and that’s that!((her favorite phrase)

We love you both

Dear Angela, Angeline and Family of Willie Mae Blount, we are sincerely saddened about the passing of cousin Willie Mae. we send our deepest condolences. She was certainly a bright light in our family. Willie Mae was very knowledgeable and spoke well at our Pulley-Warren Family Reunions and we will always remember her gift from God in her expressions. May God bless you all. Love from Lorraine and Bruce Charity

To know Willie Mae was to love her. We spent all of our adult lives together - first as young army couples in El Paso Texas, to later raise our children together in Dayton, Ohio. Anthony, Angela you really are our kin; we love you and share your grief as such. Trust me, Willie Mae will always be alive in our hearts. And, here's hoping you both know how much your mother was loved and appreciated as a Dayton City Schools' educator. She was sorely missed by friends and former students alike when she and Alonzo moved to Rocky Mount. God will not fail to fill that enormous hole in your hearts with beautiful memories of a very special lady.
