Carmel Ditcharo
Wimberly
July 1, 1933 – February 9, 2022
Carmel "Mickey" Ditcharo Wimberly was born on July 1, 1933, in Algiers LA. She moved to McComb, MS in 1965. She worked for many years at McComb Extended Care and was a devoted, faithful member of St. Alphonsus Catholic Church. She is preceded in death by her husband of 36 years Dominick Herman Ditcharo; her daughter, Donna Ann Ditcharo; sons Dr. Wade Herman Ditcharo and Steven Morris Ditcharo.
Mickey is survived by her husband of 27 years Addie "AL" Wimberly, her daughters; Karen D. Frazier and husband Morris of Zachary LA, Susan D. Gaines and husband David of Zachary LA, Brenda D. Smith and husband Bennie of Gulf Breeze FL, son Greg Dominic Ditcharo and wife Melissa of McComb, MS, and daughter in law Cathy W. Ditcharo of Brookhaven, MS, by one sister Jane Morris Nyeholt of Michigan who she loved with all her heart, and numerous nieces and nephews. She is survived by her husband's 3 children; Susan Kaiser, Nancy Caudell, and Addie "Bubba" Wimberly III.
"MawMaw" as she was affectionately known by her 11 grandchildren and "MawMaw MicMic" by her 20 great grandchildren who loved her so much.
Carmel "Mickey" Ditcharo Wimberly was a wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother who set a loving Christian example for us all. Her beautiful smile and selfless giving and her positive outlook on life came from her strong faith in God. She had great compassion for the elderly, and a love of the outdoors: with swimming, gardening, and bird watching, especially the hummingbirds. She loved to have a good time with dancing, and enjoyed po-boys, hotdogs, and her beer. If you didn't know Mickey and saw her out, she would always say "I am from New Orleans". She loved that she was born and raised in Algiers, LA but loved McComb as her home.
