Levetta Barker Wilson

Levetta Barker Wilson, born Aug. 23, 1944, left this earth on May 24, 2014 to go on a fishing date with her husband on Heavenly Ponds and enjoy the outdoors again. Levetta is survived by her children, Sherry Ward, Keith Wilson, Teresa Stuckey Hunt and Johnny Jr. Wilson; her numerous nieces and nephews that she considered her children. She has 15 grandchildren (one very dear to her heart); seven great-grandchildren that she loved like her own; two siblings, Margaret Morrow and Bobby Barker. She was preceded in death by her husband Kenneth R. Wilson; her mom, Ora Walsh; her dad, Lee Barker; and many others. Levetta was a loving and giving person, she never met a stranger. She always made sure that there was always room for more. She loved life, earthly possessions meant nothing, and friends were like family and family was everything. "No fighting" she would say, "Go outside, not in my house." She enjoyed fishing, hunting, friends and family above all. She loved to cook whomever's favorite dessert or meal just to see them smile. She loved to laugh and see everyone enjoy the simple pleasures. She was a God loving woman. A church she would say is not a building, it was the people and they could serve God wherever they were. She was an upfront person who told you the truth whether you wanted to hear it or not. Visitation will be from 6-8 p.m. Tuesday, May 27, 2014 at Moore's Jacksonville Funeral Home.
