Obituary for Wilhelmina Parnell Mallory
Wilhelmina Parnell Mallory, age 98, of Davidson, NC and formerly of Thomasville, Alabama, died on Wednesday, December 12, 2018. She was a daughter of the late Benjamin and May Burns Muckelrath and was born in Smith County, Mississippi.
"Willa,” to her friends and family, was one of the kindest most compassionate ladies that ever graced the lives of those around her. Her dignity and integrity were what she was all about. There are many definitions of integrity, but the family thought this one suited her best: Integrity: means that our ultimate goal and final decisions always lead back to being obedient in following the Lord.
She will always be missed, but forever remembered with such love. Ms. Parnell Mallory was a former member of Thomasville United Methodist Church in Thomasville, Alabama, before she moved to Davidson, North Carolina, to be closer to her family.
