Elsie Wilkinson Obituary
Elsie was preceded in death by her parents, son-in-law, Steven Pigg, daughter-in-law, Mary Dean Jinkerson, and step-son Randy Wilkinson. Elsie is survived by her loving and devoted husband Lonzo Dewain Wilkinson; children: David Jinkerson, Pamela Pigg, Melanie (Richard) Goldstein, Timothy (Kimberly) Jinkerson; grandchildren: Sean-Patrick Jinkerson, Richard Jinkerson, Natalie Pigg (Corey Dodson), Laura (James) Williams, Annamarie Goldstein (John McCormick), Neil Goldstein; great-grandchildren Oscar Williams, Alexander Williams, and Luke McCormick; sister: Ruthie (the late Jerry) Applegate; brothers: Howard (Wilma) Brake, Dale (the late Vivian) Brake; several nieces and nephews; step-children: Deborah (David) Neavill, Dennis (Andrea) Wilkinson; several step-grandchildren and step-great-grandchildren.
Elsie was "Grammy" to her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and made the absolute best chocolate chip and molasses cookies ever! She attended Ironton High School and retired from the DeSoto School District after serving as a bus driver to hundreds of children during her 26 years of service. She loved to read, listen to classical music, and true crime mysteries. Elsie's Christian faith was unwavering.
