William Quinton Wilkinson Sr. "W.Q." was born on May 29, 1918, in Randolph County, Alabama, at Malone, near Wadley, to Benjamin Jackson Wilkinson and Emily Nevada McGill Wilkinson, the youngest of seven children. He went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, March 10, 2012, at Cleburne County Nursing Home. He was preceded in death by his parents, Ben and Vada Wilkinson; brothers, Fred, Howard, Ocie, and Dwight Wilkinson and sisters, Lora and Annie Wilkinson Birchfield, and one wife, Jane Beason Wilkinson.
He is survived by his present wife, Marjorie Wilkinson; his son, William Wilkinson Jr. and wife, Martha; daughters, Annette Esterheld and husband, Jerry, Paula Skelton, and Lynn Wilkinson and the mother of his children, Catherine Wilkinson; stepchildren, Doris (Anthony) Willingham, Terry (Donna) Williamson, and Glenn (Ruth) Williamson; grandchildren, Michael Weathers (Danielle), Scott Weathers (Cindy), Billy Wilkinson, Michael Esterheld (Heather), Kathe Thomas (Dan), Kristina Esterheld, Christopher Skelton, Anthony Skelton; great-grandchildren and nieces and nephews who he loved very much.
He was very proud of his service to his country. He entered the army at Fort McClellan, Alabama on June 18, 1941, and served the United States honorably in World War II in Normandy, Northern France, Ardennes, and Rhineland in the 507th Quartermaster Company. Always a hard worker, he has been a resident of the Heflin area since the 1990s. Before retiring, he worked many years selling poultry and eggs, he worked for C.F. Clegg, Inc., Moore Business Forms, and Piggly Wiggly. He loved his church, Cedar Creek Baptist Church, where he was a faithfully member for many years and served on the Cemetery Committee.
Pallbearers were Billy Wilkinson, Michael Weathers, Joshua Swanson, Anthony Skelton, Jerry Esterheld, Anthony Willingham, Tim Birchfield, and James R. Lee. Honorary pallbearers were Deacon's of Cedar Creek Baptist Church and Pinetucky Baptist Church men's Sunday school class.
Funeral services were March 13, 2012, at Cedar Creek Baptist Church with the Rev. W.E. Jones, the Rev. Donald Triplett, and Dr. Steve Dempsey officiating. Military services followed in Cedar Creek Cemetery.
The family would like to extend special thanks to the staff of Cleburne County Nursing Home, Dr. Bidikov, the staff of New Beacon Hospice, and all those who were so kind to us at this time and lifted us up in their prayers. The family suggest, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Cedar Creek Baptist Church Cemetery Fund. Dryden Funeral Home "Caring Service Since 1962." 256-463-2287
