Wilma Bunton: Born Nov. 16, 1935 - Death Jan. 29, 2025
Wilma Jean Bunton, Elizabethton, returned to her home with God on January 29, 2025. She was preceded in death by a daughter: Denise Bunton Schilling and her mother: Letha Campbell.
She leaves behind one daughter: Joyce Bunton, Three Grandchildren: Todd Bowling, Taylor McKinney, and Angie McClaskey. Three Great Grandchildren: Arianna Smith, Hunter McClaskey, and Brenlynn Bowling, three great great grandchildren: Dustin Smith, Walker Smith and Mason Smith.
She was known as Mammy, Granny and Mom by many who loved her. She was definitely an original known to be a little feisty in her later years much like her mom Letha Campbell. Born and raised in Butler, Tn., she was no stranger to hard times, but there were many stories she told about the good times she had as a little girl playing with her sister, Georgia that she always referred to as "Sis". Wilma loved her family and was always ready to brag about them to anyone. She will be missed by many.
If her life teaches us anything it would be this, look beyond your judgements of others to see that we are all doing the best we can with the cards we have been dealt, show compassion to others because we all truly only desire to be loved.
Graveside Service will be conducted at 11 a.m. Monday, February 3, 2025 in the Norris Cemetery, Butler. Her Granddaughter: Angie will be speaking. .Pallbearers will be selected from family and friends. The family will receive friends from 4 to 5 p.m. Sunday in the funeral home. Family and friends will assemble at the cemetery at 10:45 a.m. Monday.
A special thank you to all the staff at NHC Healthcare for taking such good care of her. Wilma's body will be laid to rest beside her mother Letha at the Norris family cemetery. Condolences may be sent to the family at our web-site www.memorialfcelizabethton.com.
