Mildred Wilkerson Obituary

Mildred Virginia Wilkerson

Mildred Virginia Wilkerson, 88, of Ash Grove, MO, passed away Sunday, November 20, 2016 at the Ash Grove Health Care Facility. Virginia was born April 24, 1928 in Lexington, NC, the daughter of the late John Moore Sr. and Pearl (Robinson) Moore.

She was united in marriage to Norman Wilkerson on September 16, 1951. They were privileged to share 58 years together.

Virginia loved being outdoors, hunting and fishing were among her favorite outdoor activities. Virginia was always up for an adventure and traveled across America as Norman worked on building the pipeline. One couldn't help but smile every time Virginia sent a wink their way. Virginia could often be heard saying, "There you go" and "My Lands!" They are simple phrases, that will forever be hers. Virginia will be fondly remembered and will be greatly missed.

Virginia is survived one brother, Charles Moore and wife Janice of Hickory, NC; a number of nieces, nephews; special friends, Clyde and Roberta Jones, Keith, Betty, and Gary Mallory, Kelly Smith, Nita Roe all of Ash Grove and several other family and friends.

Virginia was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Norman, three brothers, and three sisters.

Funeral services will be held at 1:00PM, Friday, November 25, 2016, at the Wilson Griffin Funeral Home Chapel. Visitation will be held from noon until 1:00PM. Burial will follow the services at Dunkle Cemetery. Memorial contributions can be made to Dunkle Cemetery and may be left at the funeral home.

The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the Ash Grove Care Center for their loving care over the last year.
