Wanda Holmes Whitfield

Wanda Holmes Whitfield was born March 4, 1957, in Clinch County, Georgia, to the late Blanch Holmes and the late Sammy Lee Brown.

Wanda will always be remembered for her caring heart and for having a very nice personality. There was love in everything she did to make those around her lives worthwhile which made it easy for all who knew her to love her. She had quite a sense of humor and loved to have fun. Her laughter was a source of joy. She loved her family with all of her heart and was a very caring mother, grandmother and loving wife. Wanda was truly a blessing to her family and will be greatly missed.

Not only did she love her family, but she also loved the Lord. Wanda was a woman with a very, very strong faith in God. She was a member of New Jerusalem Baptist Church.
