Amelia Anne Bufkin, 77, of Hazlehurst, Mississippi, passed away November 4, 2021, at Copiah County Medical Center. Amelia was a resident of Hazlehurst for 61 years. She attended Hazlehurst Public School where she was a devoted member of the Hazlehurst High School Band.
Though Amelia's work career was short, she was the best "good will" employee Sue's Corner of Fashion ever had. She became a staple to many in the community. She was a devout Christian and belonged to Antioch Baptist Church for all the years she lived in Hazlehurst. She was a nursery worker for many years and helped with crafts for Vacation Bible School at Antioch Baptist Church. Even though she has no list of accomplishments or accolades, she made an impact on all those who met her. She was always happy, greeted all with a smile, and impressed everyone with the optimism that was "her". Given her inabilities, she showed many that you can do anything that you want to do. Everyone loved her, and all who knew her will miss her. As her Daddy said, "She was a special gift from God."
She was preceded in death by her parents, Homer and Sue Bufkin of Hazlehurst, MS.
She is survived by her sister, Beverly Kergosien and Hardy of Hazlehurst; her nephews and niece who she helped raise, Regan Wichman and Tracie of Meridian, John Wichman and Sharmon of Hattiesburg, and Ginnie McCardle and Butch of Hazlehurst. Also 6 grand nieces and nephews who she played with and who loved her, Cole and Grant Wichman, Hardy, Emma, and Lillie McCardle, and Austin Wichman.
Visitation will be at Stringer Family Funeral Home in Hazlehurst, Sunday, November 7, 2021, from 1pm-3pm followed by a graveside service at Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery.
Memorials may be made to Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery Fund, 11038 Barlow Road, Hazlehurst, MS, 39083.

She will truly be missed. She was a sweet, caring, genuine soul. I´m truly going to miss my snacking buddy and "babysitting" her baby. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
