Obituary

Mother Willie Jean Hannah was born October 11, 1952, in Nassawadox, Virginia to the late Willie James Bell and Nellie Mae Grantlin Bell. A widow from the love of her life Willie Lee Hannah of thirty-two glorious years, marriage ended September 24, 2013, when Willie crossed over into eternity. Willie Jean Hannah received Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and joined the Temple of Restoration Ministry First Born Church of the Living God on February 1, 2004, while under the leadership of Bishop Charlie C. Derico, where she was a faithful member and Church Mother.

Willie Jean Hannah was a graduate of the Class of 72 Lake Shore Bobcats/ Glades Central High School in Belle Glade, Florida. She started attending and volunteering services at West County Senior Center in Belle Glade. Willie Jean was a woman of many skills, talents and had many trades. Willie drove tractors for Okeelanta Sugar Mills and later attained her Life Insurance license.

Willie Jean Hannah was a mother who loved her family, she was first a devoted wife, who enjoyed every moment of her late husband. When Willie Lee Hannah retired from Okeelanta Sugar Mill, my mom quit worked immediately, the same day. When she buried her husband, she paid in full her grave plot with name, birth, and blank exit date, next to her husband Willie. She was loyal to her Vows that the man is responsible for provisions. Retirement never stopped their sabbatical vacation. Wille Jean was a faithful believer in enjoying life, getting out traveling, hanging out with her friends' girls, creating new adventures and this did not exclude her children. Even when she was confined and limited to movements, it would never stop her from playing her Candy Crush Saga game; rather on her phone or computer. She was a friendly and easy to encounter person, sweet personality and willing to assist or help in any way. She never fell short on speaking her thoughts on agreements or disagreements, yet while moving forward with no grudges, resentments or confusion and will continue to love on you and converse with you. She would always Let Go and Let God. Death stopped by and visited her March of 2022 three times, from ICU to Rehabilitation. Death had to reschedule that appointment and she was given two extra years with us, to get more hugs and kisses until March of 2024 you had to leave us this time forever.
