I’m saddened at this news. Mrs Wells was more than an advisor, she was more like my second mom. She was always genuine and viewed every trial as a possibility for God to show his best work. Rest In Peace Mother. Thanks for being apart of my life!

Mrs. Wells was a friend. I met her sometime ago and she treated me with love, kindness then and always had that beautiful smile. When I saw her short while back, she still had that smile and gave me a big hug. She will truly be missed not only at Hood, Livingstone, but her friends. She had many. To the family my prayers are with you and I will always remember her beauty, beautiful smile, kindness, advise, and love. I am going to miss my friend. Mrs. Phyllis Clayborn Wells. Rest In Heaven.

I knew from my first day on campus that I had a friend in Mrs. Wells. Everyone did, and she will be sorely missed. I give thanks to God for being blessed to know her a little, and rejoice that she has joined the saints in light.

What an angel, I walked into the administrative offices, first time not knowing what to do. This quiet voice said may I help you, and took me by my hand. For me she was the voice of encouragement, and strength, A light to all who entered the doors Hood Seminary. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of everyone she touched.

Mrs. Wells welcomed me and my daughter when we moved to Salisbury in 1999. She immediately made us feel at home in a strange land. Her willingness to share her wealth of knowledge about Hood Theological Seminary was greatly appreciated. I would always tell people, "Mrs. Wells is Hood Theological Seminary and Hood Theological Seminary is Mrs. Wells." She was more than an employee, she was FAMILY!!! Her presence will never be forgotten. I will continue to lift the family up daily in my prayers.

My heart is truly broken at the news of Paulette's passing. I met her at Hood Seminary many, many years ago (in the 90's) when the Seminary was located on W. Thomas Street. She was a "Real Jewel, " listening to and giving sound, Christian Advice to not just the Students but to the Ministers as well. Her disposition was Angelic and I truly believe she has now put on her wings! RIP Paulette-God Bless You Family!
