It is written in Ecclesiastes 3:1 that "To everything, there is a season and a time for every purpose
under the Heaven," and as such, the grand architect of the universe, the immaculate author and finisher of our soul's destiny, summoned the mortal presence of dearly beloved, Bernice Parler Wilson to eternal rest, as she has made life's final transition from earthly travailing to heavenly reward on October 8, 2024.
Bernice P. Wilson, affectionately known as "Mrs. Bernice" blessed the world with her presence on October 8, 1931, to loving parents Richard Epps and Katie Mae Epps.
Sister Wilson's graciousness, compassion, and extensive intellect charmed not only her many people but the heart and soul of a man named Hezekiah (deceased).
Sister Wilson was a caregiver with different Christian organizations for many years. She even went on an adventure to explore other countries like Spain and London. She loved and cared for
many animals, including dogs, which was her passion.
The memory of Sister Wilson, a woman held in the highest regard by friends and family as an inspiring and precious gift from God, will continue to refresh the hearts and memories of her beloved siblings that she leaves: Two brothers, Richard L. Epps with his wife Alice Epps from (Fort Myers, fl), Louis L. Kohliem (Orlando, Fl.), Frankie L. Epps (Bradenton, Fl), and two sisters Ella Epps (Arcadia, Fl). and five deceased brothers Johna Epps (Arcadia, Fl.), Eddie Reese (Arcadia, Fl.). John W. Johnson (Arcadia, Fl. ), Henry Epps (New York), William Epps (Arcadia, Fl). A host of nieces resided with Nalana D. Walls (Punta Gorda, FL), other nieces
Latoya Grant (Port Charlotte, Fl.) Thelma Guice (Arcadia, FL.), Jackie Franklin (Fort Myers,
Fl.), Teresa Hamilton (Fort Myers, Fl.), Kayla Kohliem (Orlando, Fl.), Jamela Epps (Fort Myers, Fl.), Treavres Epps (Winter Haven, Fl.) and many nephews some are Henry Epps (Fort Myers), Richard Epps III (Arcadia, Fl.), Byron Epps (Port Charlotte, Fl.), Anton Epps (Port Charlotte, Fl.), Thomas Lovegood (Fort Myers, Fl.) Treavres Epps (Winter Haven, Fl.) Kandyra Kohliem (Arcadia, Fl.), Destiny Z. Kohliem (Orlando, Fl.), and hosts of friends and family.
