Christine Bohannon, age 74, of Alto, Georgia, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, May 16, 2023.
Ms. Bohannon was born on September 18, 1948, in Stephens County, Georgia, to the late Clarence and Hassie Smith Bohannon. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brothers, Roy Bohannon, Troy Bohannon, Sam Bohannon, Noah Bohannon, Herman Bohannon, Steve Bohannon, and Thomas Bohannon.
Ms. Bohannon was of the Christian Faith. She was very dedicated to her family, and she was also a dedicated worker. Christine will be remembered for her selflessness. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren, who were her pride and joy. She was known to her grandchildren as “Nanny”; she did anything and everything for them because of the love she had for each of them. They could make her laugh and act silly when no one else could. She enjoyed spending time outdoors, spending many hours working on her flowers and in her yard. Christine was a friend to all that she met and was willing to lend a hand to anyone who may have needed it.
She is survived by her husband of 35 years, Nelson “Buddy” Wiley, of Alto; daughters and sons-in-law, Takira and Dale Dean, of Cornelia; Jennifer Wiley and Josh Turpin, of Dahlonega; grandchildren, Kailei Dean, and her fiance, Isaiah Tomlin, of Cornelia; Myha Kendrick, of Dahlonega; Damion Kendrick, of Dahlonega; Clayton Turpin, of Dahlonega; Liam Turpin, of Dahlonega; brothers, Jerry (Eneree) Bohannon, Henry (Carol) Bohannon, Mike Bohannon, George (Jeannie) Bohannon, Danny Bohannon, and Curtis Bohannon; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Ms. Bohannon’s wishes were to be cremated, and no formal services are planned at this time.
The family will be at their respective homes.
Arrangements have been entrusted to the Whitfield Funeral Homes & Crematory, South Chapel, at 1370 Industrial Boulevard, Baldwin, Georgia 30511. Telephone: 706-778-7123.
