Estelle Annette Wilkinson, 72, of McComb, MS passed away Thursday, April 27, 2023 at her
residence in McComb, MS. She was born Thursday, July 27, 1950 in Beaumont, TX to Ray and
Ann Sturdivant.

Annette was a faithful and supporting wife to her husband Byron who pastored for 32 years. She
taught Sunday School in several churches where they served. She retired from Camellia Estates in
2019 after working for 13 years. She loved her children and grandchildren and did her best to
support them in all of their activities and needs. Annette loved watching college & NFL football,
especially watching Dak Prescott at both MSU and the Dallas Cowboys. She was always active in
the flower beds and the only person who enjoyed pulling weeds. She also enjoyed talking to her
chickens at feeding time. Annette would look forward to going out to eat with close friends
JoNell Myers & Angie Foil. She was always telling stories of how it was back in her day; one story
she told often, was how her father would give her and her brother a quarter each to get two
Krystal burgers, fries and a drink and that they better give him his nickel each in change back!

She was preceded in death by her husband, Alfred B. Wilkinson; father, Ray Sturdivant; mother,
Ann Sturdivant and grandson Alfred Ray Wilkinson.

Survivors include her two sons, Ray Wilkinson of McComb, MS and Reese and Niki Wilkinson of
