Wilma Voncile Nelson

Wilma Voncile Nelson entered peacefully into the arms of her heavenly Father on December 28, 2025. She was born on May 5, 1936, in Point Washington, Florida to her parents John Wesley White and Mamie Barton.
Wilma was a devout Christian and expressed her unending love for Jesus to anyone she could.

She had a passion for caring for her family and would spend every moment she could with her loved ones. Wilma also loved to fish, eat raw oysters, and sit out on her patio, reading her daily devotion while watching hummingbirds feed by her window.
