Wevette Stifflemire • February 22, 2023
Wevette Neal Stifflemire, 84, was born on May 8th, 1938 in Flora, Mississippi to Earl Neal and Ima Bradford. Wevette graduated high school going on to obtain her bachelor’s degree in Nursing. Her nursing career ended while working in the psychiatric unit at Baptist Hospital to take care of her late parents. On her weekends off and in between her many back-and-forth trips to Mississippi you could find her in her yard barefoot working in her flower beds or in her garden. Though she loved being in her yard, there is nothing that she loved more than her family and grandchildren. Being a daughter, sister, mother and Nana was Wevettes greatest accomplishment in life.
Wevette was proceed in death by her parents Earl & Ima Neal, her sister Earline (Sissy) Mitchell and her late husband’s Elwood Stifflemire and Chuck Gross and son in law Arthur Jordan. She is survived by her sisters Glenda Neal, Beth Pressley (Johnny) and brother-in-law Gary Mitchell; Daughters Bridget Trumpore (Quentin), Brenda Silcox (Scott Garrett) and Bertina Jordan (Bobby Taber); Grandchildren Jesse Trumpore, Shana Silcox, Samantha Town (Daniel) and Jakob Jordan; Great Grandchildren Kai Trumpore and Deacon Town and numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and cherished friends that turned into family.
