Her smile!  Her laughter!  Her voice!  Her beauty!  Her presence!   Her willingness! All the things that made her the special person she will forever be in our hearts.  Her story began on December 31, 1972, while everyone was anticipating the dawning of a new year, her parents, Roscoe (Gladys) Wilson and Opal Kendrick (Joshua) Woodson, welcomed her to this world.

Dehavenly Coneice Wilson was born in Cordele, Crisp County, Georgia where she was educated in the public school system.  She grew and learned many lessons as a child.  As a 1991   graduate of Crisp County High School, she carried many of those lessons with her as she shared with those she came in contact with.  Her story continued as she studied at Albany Technical College and Strayer University where she majored in Criminal Justice.

Her spiritual foundation was laid as she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and became a member of the Beulahland Baptist Church.

Her hands were always finding something to do.  Whether at  Piggly Wiggly, Marvair or most recently, Frito Lay, Neice was   always a dedicated employee.  She found added joy in cooking, baking, crafting, decorating events, traveling and most importantly celebrating the life the Lord had blessed her with.

Our hearts were broken when her earthly journey ended on Friday, March 11, 2022, yet we rejoice because she lived.  Her sister, Turkessa Williams and her grandparents, Woodrow  & Margie Wilson and Tommie & Jacqueline Kendrick, precede her in death.

Her story will forever be cherished by her loving and devoted sons, Jarvis Brown of Cordele, Georgia and Desmond Porter of Warner Robins, Georgia; her adored grandchildren, Trinity, Kaleb, Ava, Aubrey, Ja'laiyah, and Jair; her loving and devoted parents, Opal (Joshua) Woodson of Cordele, Georgia and Roscoe (Gladys) Wilson of Cordele, Georgia; her loving sisters, Olivia Wilson of Warner Robins, Georgia and Takiyah (Corey) Thurman of Snellville, Georgia; her caring brothers, Marco (Tonya) Wilson and Jemiyah (Mona) Williams of Cordele, Georgia, Kevin (Tiffany) Williams and Chris (Sherita) Williams of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Roderick Walker of Cordele, Georgia; her aunts and uncles, Gail (Jimmy) Passmore, Phillip (Denise) Kendrick, Johnnie (William) Smith, Barbara Wilson, Mary Wilson, Linda Wilson, Loweta Wilson, Woodrow Wilson, Leon (Nancy) Wilson, and Johnny (Sheila) Wilson all of Cordele, Georgia, Tommy (Mary) Kendrick of Riverdale, Georgia, and Ruth Pinkett of Denver, Colorado; her loving nieces and nephews; a host devoted cousins, and many loving friends, to include Rejeania Morning and Carmen Teal both of Warner Robins, Georgia and Lakatasha Brown of Cordele, Georgia.
