Andrew George Wilson - Unknown - April 30, 2020

Departed: 04/30/2020 (Pamplico)

Obituary Preview: Mr. George Andrew Wilson was born to Leah Jane Wilson Pompey in the Hyman Community of Pamplico, South Carolina on April 30, 1942.  He was reared by his maternal grandparents Minnie and Lonnie Wilson.  After his grandfather's passing in 1947, he continued to live with his grandmother whom he affectionately called "mama" until he relocated to Brooklyn, New York . Andrew, as he was affectionately called by family and friends attended Gibbs High School. Growing up in Hyman, he learned the importance of good work ethics as he assisted his grandmother on the farm.  It is these early life experiences that instilled in him the significance of ensuring that his family was well-maintained at all times.  As a child he attended Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. He frequently shared with others that he never despised the days of humble beginnings and he was grateful for all the Lord had done for him.  In August of 1958, Andrew's life changed when he was asked to babysit for his Aunt Ethel in New York while she went in the hospital to have a baby.  Once he reached the big city, he would not return to South Carolina to live for years to come.  As a new resident of New York, he lived with his Aunt Ethel and her family and worked at Gimbels Clothing Store.  He would always send money to his grandmother to help out.  Throughout the years, he made frequent visits to South Carolina, always ensuring that his children and grandchildren stayed in touch with their roots and knew from whence they came.  While all his life he was familiar with the former Ora Lean "Betty" Robinson by virtue of them attending the same school and sometimes she would accompany her father to their home, it wasn't until 1959, when she arrived in New York that they began dating.  Knowing immediately that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, they were wed on December 29, 1960.  Andrew took his vows to his wife and God very seriously and he always ensured that his wife was well taken care of.  This beautiful union produced 4 children, 9 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. Andrew secured a job with what was then AT&T Telephone Company as a telephone technician. He retired in 2001 from what is now Verizon as a technician supervisor.  While working, it was not uncommon for him to work six days a week because he wanted to ensure his wife, children and grandchildren's needs were always met. While living in New York, he was a member of St. John A.M. E. Church where he served as a steward.  He was also a member of the senior choir and the male chorus.  In 1999, Andrew along with his wife Betty decided that they would retire, build a home, and move back to South Carolina.   In 2001, after the completion of their house, they returned to South Carolina where they would continue living their life and enjoy the abundance of God's grace.  Upon relocating, he immediately affiliated with the Gibbs Procurement Group, a non-profit organization plighted towards community improvement.  He was later elected chairman of the board in 2006 and served in this capacity until the time of his death.  Andrew took much pride in overseeing the activities of the Procurement Group which included distributing food, the Senior Citizen's Program, and the Meals on Wheels Program.  He delivered meals to residents up until the day he went in the hospital.  He would always have to check with "the center" before finalizing any plans.  Though he did not get paid for any of this work, he was very dedicated and wanted to make sure that the needs of the people in his community were met. When Andrew and his wife returned to South Carolina, they joined Trinity A.M.E. Church where he served in various capacities.  He served as Steward Protem from 2012 to 2018.  In 2018, after much contemplation Andrew decided that after many years of service it was time to take a step back and allow others the opportunity to serve in the esteemed position of church leadership.  He continued to serve as a steward and provided much support to his successor.  He was also a member of the senior choir and the Son's of Allen.  In 2001, following in the footsteps of his beloved grandfather, Lonnie Wilson, Andrew joined Hyman Lodge #138, a subordinate Lodge of Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of South Carolina where he served as secretary of the Lodge from 2005 until 2018.  Andrew took his oath to the Lodge seriously and did all he could to ensure that things ran smoothly as much as he could control.  He affiliated with Light of Pamplico Chapter #80, a subordinate Chapter of Prince Hall Grand Chapter Order of the Eastern Star and Rite of Adoption for the State of South Carolina and Jurisdiction.  He worked diligently within the Chapter, always willing to offer a helping hand when needed. He was also a member of the Lion's Club. His most recent venture, which took all by surprise was part ownership in the Pamplico Funeral Parlor.  Although Andrew was involved in many civic and social service organizations, he never lost sight of the fact that his family was his first ministry.  He was known for his consistency; always saying what he meant, and meaning what he said.  He devoted his life to ensuring that his wife, children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren not only had the things they needed, but also much of what they wanted.  In later years he could be found picking up his great-grandchildren from school, attending sporting events, graduations, and traveling with his whole family.  He loved family vacations and any activity that gave him the opportunity to be with his wife, children, and grand-children.  He never missed a special occasion that involved his children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, even if it meant he had to travel hundreds of miles to get there. He always provided wise counsel to his children and grandchildren and when faced with challenges he would always revert to "the Lord will make a way, somehow."  Andrew was preceded in death by his grandmother Minnie Wilson, mother, Leah Jane Pompey, step-father Harold Pompey, sister, Kathy McElveen, and grandson, Maurice Andre Lacey, Jr.  Andrew transitioned from labor on earth to eternal reward with his God on April 30, 2020, leaving to mourn his passing and honor his legacy, his beloved and devoted wife of 59 years, Mrs. Ora L. "Betty" Wilson; daughters, Theresa (Maurice) Lacey of Florence, South Carolina, Tracey (Randy) Williams of Jamaica, New York, and Tammy (Lucien) Hodge of Jamaica, New York; A granddaughter reared in the home, Dr. Tamiquia T.

(“O.E.”) and Mrs. Virginia Jackson of Pamplico, SC.

Elnora graduated from Gibbs High School, Pamplico, SC in 1964 and went on to graduate from Durham Business College, Durham, NC, which led to the beginning of her business career with IBM Corp at Research Triangle Park, Raleigh-Durham, NC.  After several years she took leave of her career and united in marriage with Air Force SSgt Lindwood M. Timmons (Woody), on 18 April 1970.  Her career then became Mother, Wife, and Air Force Family Member.  After a few years she returned to the business sector as a Receptionist at Country & Western Radio Station, KBUC, San Antonio, TX, followed by employment with US Postal Service, Orlando, FL, and she finally retired as a Postal Clerk in Oviedo, FL in 2004.

Elnora spiritual and interactive skillsets which developed early in life and continued to be one of the greatest assets, can probably be attributed to her parental guidance from the two dedicated sets, “Jacksons & Daniels”; as well as the always close interaction with her paternal siblings, who always lived nearby as children. She was always very competitive and took lots of pride in her achievements. Athletic competition came natural early in life, and led to becoming a member of the Gibbs High School Girls Basketball Team, followed by several sports at the collegiate level, and eventually the Women’s Softball Team of Grant Heights Family Housing Area (Joint Service DOD), Tokyo Japan. She eventually diverted her extra energy to supporting community projects and volunteer church work as time and health changed.

Elnora was preceded in death by both sets of parents, Jacksons and Daniels.

She leaves to cherish her life and memories: Husband (50 years), Woody Timmons; two sons; Craig, Orlando, Fla. And Christopher, Apopka, Fla.; three brothers; Roy Daniels Jr., Lynchburg, SC. Calvin Daniels (Ann), Pamplico, SC, and Bobby Daniels (Roberta), Rock Hill, SC.; two sisters; Maxine McCoy (Johnny),Effingham, SC, and Cynthia Parks, Pamplico, SC.; and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends. “See You In Glory Sweetheart”- Woody

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an obituary?

An obituary is a written notice that announces the death of a person, typically including biographical information, details about their life, and information about the funeral or memorial service.

Why are obituaries important?

Obituaries serve as a way to inform friends, family, and community members of a person's passing, allowing them to pay their respects and offer condolences. They also provide a lasting tribute to the deceased and can be a valuable resource for genealogical research.

Who writes an obituary?

Typically, the family of the deceased or a close friend writes the obituary. In some cases, a funeral home or mortuary may assist with writing the obituary or provide a template for the family to use.

What information should be included in an obituary?

A typical obituary includes the person's name, age, date of birth and death, cause of death (optional), surviving family members, and information about the funeral or memorial service. It may also include biographical details, achievements, and personal anecdotes.

How long should an obituary be?

The length of an obituary can vary, but it's generally recommended to keep it concise and focused on the most important information. A good rule of thumb is to aim for 1-2 paragraphs at most.

Can I include photos in an obituary?

Yes, many newspapers and online obituary platforms allow you to include one or more photos with the obituary. This can be a meaningful way to personalize the tribute and help readers remember the person who has passed away.

How do I submit an obituary to a newspaper?

Contact the newspaper's obituary department directly to inquire about their submission process and any specific requirements they may have. Be prepared to provide the necessary information and payment for publication.

Can I write an obituary for someone who has been deceased for a long time?

Yes, it's never too late to write an obituary for someone who has passed away. You can still publish it in a newspaper or online platform as a way to honor their memory and share their story with others.

What is the difference between an obituary and a death notice?

A death notice is a brief announcement of someone's passing, usually including only the basic facts such as name, age, and date of death. An obituary is a more detailed tribute that provides additional information about the person's life and legacy.

Can I include humorous or lighthearted elements in an obituary?

Absolutely! While an obituary should be respectful, it's also okay to inject some personality and humor into the tribute. This can help celebrate the person's life and make the reading experience more engaging.

How do I handle sensitive or difficult information in an obituary?

If there are sensitive or difficult aspects of the person's life or death, it's best to approach them with tact and compassion. Consider consulting with family members or close friends to ensure that you're presenting the information in a way that is respectful and accurate.

Can I include quotes or lyrics in an obituary?

Yes, quotes or lyrics that were meaningful to the person who has passed away can be a beautiful way to add depth and context to the tribute. Just be sure to obtain any necessary permissions or credits.

How do I proofread an obituary for errors?

Carefully review the obituary multiple times for spelling, grammar, and factual errors. It's also a good idea to have someone else review it as well before submitting it for publication.

Can I make changes to an obituary after it's been published?

This may depend on the publication or platform where the obituary was published. Some may allow corrections or updates, while others may not. Be sure to check their policies beforehand.

The timeframe for publishing an obituary can vary depending on the publication or platform. Some may publish it immediately, while others may take several days or even weeks.

Can I republish an obituary from one newspaper in another?

You'll need to obtain permission from the original publisher and/or copyright holder before republishing an obituary in another newspaper or platform.

What is an online obituary?

An online obituary is a digital version of a traditional printed obituary, often published on websites, social media, or dedicated online platforms. These can be shared easily with friends and family around the world.

Online obituaries often offer more flexibility in terms of length, content, and multimedia features such as videos, photos, and guestbooks. They can also be easily updated or corrected after publication.

Are online obituaries permanent?

This depends on the platform or website where the obituary is published. Some online platforms may archive or remove older obituaries over time, while others may preserve them permanently.

Can I create my own online memorial page?

Yes, there are many websites and platforms that allow you to create your own online memorial pages or tributes. These can be personalized with photos, stories, and other memories of your loved one.

How do I find an old obituary from years ago?

You can try searching online archives of newspapers or libraries, contacting local historical societies or genealogical organizations, or reaching out to family members who may have kept copies of the original obituary.

Can I reuse parts of an old obituary when writing a new one?

If you're writing an obituary for someone related to or connected to someone who has passed away previously, you can certainly draw inspiration from earlier tributes. However, be sure to update and personalize the information accordingly.

What if I'm struggling to write an obituary due to grief or emotional distress?

Are there any resources available to help me write an effective obituary?
