Stephen Wilmoth

1952 - 2021

Stephen Hardy Wilmoth, age 68, of Dobson, passed away peacefully at his home on Wednesday morning May 5, 2021, surrounded by family. "Steve" was a loving husband, wonderful father, brother, and grandfather. He was extremely proud of his family and a friend to so many; he cherished these relationships. Helping others was a true passion of his, often going out of his way to help those in need. Spending time with his family was what made him most happy. To say that he was a hard worker would be an understatement, as farming was where he spent much of his time. Steve was the definition of a true family man. Humble, kind, caring, and compassionate are just a few qualities that defined this great man. He proudly served as a deacon at Salem Fork Christian Church, and he deeply loved his church and church family. Those who knew Steve understood what a simple man he was yet had the ability to impact anyone and everyone he ever met. He was loved by many, and he will be unbelievably missed. He was born in Surry County on Sept. 28, 1952, to the late Howard Daniel Wilmoth and the late Pearl Hardy Wilmoth. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by a grandson, Kason Elijah Wilmoth; and brother, Dickie Donald Wilmoth. Surviving is his wife, Pencanna Woodruff Wilmoth; daughter and son-in-law, Rosanna Wilmoth Richardson and her husband Michael; two sons and daughters-in-law, Daniel Broz Wilmoth and wife Jodi, Benjamin Busby Wilmoth and wife Candace; grandchildren, Jackson Wilmoth, Isabella Wilmoth, Macon Wilmoth, Jasper Wilmoth, Creedence Wilmoth, Ila Wilmoth, Ellis Wilmoth, Aebry Murphy, Eliza Richardson, Wells Richardson; three brothers and sisters-in-law, Jim and Nancy Wilmoth, Ronnie and Kathy Wilmoth, Dennis and Cathy Wilmoth; several nieces and nephews. There will be a private family service held. The family has requested in lieu of flowers, memorials be made to Mountain Valley Hospice and Palliative Care. 401 Technology Lane, Suite 200, Mount Airy, NC 27030.
