Wynell Holder Miles

Mrs. Wynell Holder Miles went to her heavenly home on July 18, 2024 at her daughter’s home in Louisville, Mississippi, at age 98. Visitation will be Sunday, July 21 from 5 p.m. until 7 p. m. at Massey Funeral Home in Louisville. Funeral services will be 11 a.m. Monday, July 22 in the Massey Funeral Home Chapel with Bro. Tommy Jones officiating. Interment will immediately follow the service in Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Noxapater, Mississippi. Mrs. Miles was born to Aubrey and Fannie Mae Snow Holder on March 20, 1926. She was one of the founding members of Winston Baptist Church where she worshipped until it closed. At that time, she became a faithful member of Enon Baptist Church until her health prevented her attendance. She was a dairy farmer along with her husband, Lester Miles. Mrs. Miles drove a school bus for Nanih Waiya School for 33 years and was a cafeteria worker for 24 years. She retired from public work in 1988, but never retired from helping her family, friends and neighbors, as long as her health allowed. She enjoyed gardening and quilting. Mrs. Miles was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; her brothers, Rudolph, Harold, and Donhue Holder; her sisters, Maedell Martin, Peggy Ruth Holder, and Betty Lou White; and her son-in-law, Gene Estes. She is survived by her daughter, Patty Estes of Louisville. One of her greatest joys was being “Granny” to her grandson, Keith Alexander; great-grandchildren, Taylor Alexander (Ethan) Hamilton and Lane Alexander; her great-great-granddaughter, Lillie Ruth Hamilton; as well as a host of loving nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends. Serving as pallbearers are Keith Alexander, Lane Alexander, Randy Sullivan, Aubrey Holder, Terry Holder, Randy Fulton, Bobby Paten, and Lee Verry. Honorary pallbearers are Gabe Snow, Neil Snow, Joey Johnson, Tony Fulton, and Eddie Hildebran. Memorials in honor of Mrs. Miles may be given to the charity of your choice. Patty and Keith would like to express their thanks and appreciation to family members and friends who were always available to help whenever needed. We were so blessed to have two special caregivers, Linda Davis and Martina Davis, who helped us so much as we cared for Granny. Also, thank you to Bailey Fulton, Kalie Parks Hudson, and Erin Miller, for the professional care, love and support they provided. We are also grateful for EnHabit Hospice and our kind and loving nurse, Robyn White, who has been a godsend; and our wonderful CNA, Michelle Pittman. We also appreciate all that Bobby Paten has done for us over the years from cutting grass to anything that needed to be done. Words cannot express how grateful we are for the kind, loving care and support that was given on behalf of our Granny by everyone. Services are under the direction of Massey Funeral Home, 724 North Columbus Avenue, Louisville, MS.
