Eric Wells, born to Leon Wells and Claudia Smith Wells, left us with a wealth of cherished memories on Monday, September 13, 2021.

Wells and Cynthia Powell; sister- in law Dr. Sonia D. Winslett; nephews James Wells and Bryan (Sheena) Powell; 11 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild.

Eric was always one of my favorite people! Such a sense of humor, it could not be beat! I haven't been in touch with the family in years, but my love for each of you will never change. Aunt Claudia and Uncle Leon were my Godparents.
Love always,
