Wanda Eddins Williams,
94 of Cumby went to her heavenly home on June 3, 2022.
She
was born on February 24, 1928 in Cumby to her mother and father; Arthur Eddins
and Corien Eddins. She is preceded in
death by her parents, uncle “Yank” Strickland and aunt, Connie “Pip”
Strickland.
She
is survived by her son, Steve Williams, grandson Zac Williams and wife Dara
Williams, great grandson, Declan Williams, and granddaughter, Halsey Williams
and a host of cousins and friends.
Wanda
attended Cumby schools and after graduation she began her work career at the
Cumby Telephone Company. She took an
early retirement and began to explore the world. She traveled all over the world with friends
and her beloved Red Hat Society.
Wanda
loved to cook and entertain. She hosted
many parties, showers and holiday parties in her home over the years. One of her specialities was her Mini Pecan
Pies. You could always count on them
being on the menu or delivering dozens to her grandson’s baseball games.
Wanda
loved to garden and tend to her yard.
She also looked forward to football season and watching her Dallas
Cowboys. She was never a fair-weather
fan either; always loyal.
She
attended several churches of different faiths in Cumby and the surrounding area
as her walk with God was very important to her.
She would always say she liked to cover her bases. She was a member of the Cumby United
Methodist Church.
Wanda
had a wonderful and wicked sense of humor.
Her laugh and antics will be missed by many.
Visitation
will be on Thursday, June 9, 2022 beginning at 12:30 p.m. at Coker-Mathews
Funeral Home in Greenville. A memorial
service will follow at 2 p.m. conducted by Pastor Fred Lewis out of Sulphur
Springs and she will be laid to rest at Friendship Cemetery in Campbell.
The
family would like to thank the staff at Legends Healthcare & Rehabilitation
Center in Greenville for their excellent care of Wanda.
Pallbearers
will be John Eddins, Paul Eddins, Mike Cross and Bobby Yarbrough.
