She was born on February 4, 1932, along with her twin sister, Maye Willett Check, in Chatham County. She enjoyed women’s Bible Study, sewing, gardening, homemaking and especially being with her grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Robert and Rosa Willett, sisters, Allene Willett Perkins and Estelle Willett Swaim, and brothers, Thomas Howard Willett and Coy Willett.
She had been lovingly cared for at Clapp’s Nursing Center the past seven years for her dementia. We would like to thank the wonderful staff at Clapp’s Nursing Center for their loving care.

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrow like a sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, thou has taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul.
