Mary Virginia “Deenie” Wildes, 64, of Callahan, passed away peacefully Saturday, March 18, 2017, at her residence.
She was born the youngest of three children in Homerville, Ga., to the late Charlie Milton Wildes and Mary Strain Wildes. Ms. Wildes had lived the majority of her life in Georgia before moving to Florida about 10 years ago. She was a homemaker and a member of the Baptist faith.
