Gwenda Pelfrey

Seneca – Gwenda Gladys Nimmons Pelfrey, 70, passed away on Thursday, September 7, 2023 at her residence.     

 

Born in Six Mile, South Carolina, Gwen was the daughter of the late Wilton D. Nimmons and Ovaline Bryant Nimmons.  Gwen was a homemaker who enjoyed helping the needy, working with local food banks and spending time with her family.

 

Gwen is survived by her daughter, Nicole Weaver (Randall); sisters, Lynda Partin (Andrew), Pam Partin (Ernie); and grandchildren, Dylan Barnes and Ava Weaver.

 

In addition to her parents, Gwen is preceded in death by her son, Joshua Bryant Pelfrey; sister, Ann Leopard; and Roddy Pelfrey.

 

A private family service will be held at Ramsey Creek Preserve where Gwen will be laid to rest next to her son.

 

Gwen was a devoted mother to her two children. As Nicole describes her precious mama, “My mother was such a precious soul. The most selfless, humble person I’d ever met. She loved life even through her hardships. She loved the Lord and talked with Him often. My love for the Lord began with her. I lost my rock, my angel on earth, the one I’d lean on for guidance, love, and advice. She was so wise and seemed to have a sixth sense about things. She was so funny and always made people laugh, even if she’d have to break out a dance for you.” I know Gwen is rejoicing in heaven with her beloved son, J Bryant Pelfrey; It’s been extremely hard for her these past 4 years without him. 

 

In lieu of flowers, memorials in Gwen’s memory may be made to a local food bank of one’s choice.   Condolences may be expressed online by visiting www.sandiferfuneralhome.com.
