Born April 26, 1924 in the county of Oglethorpe and town of Crawford, Georgia, Ms. Whitehead was the daughter of the late Clarence Ezekiel and Daisy Miller Shelnut.  She treasured laughing and being with her family.  Her grandchildren, who lovingly called her “Buddy”, were adored and were always the topic of conversation for her.  She loved playing cards with her friends, Laverne Dykes, Ann Amos, Cindy Elliot, and Betty Calvert; and never passed up a trip to go fishing.

Ms. Whitehead is survived by her two daughters, Brenda (Ronnie) Carter of Macon and Barbara (Ned) Wiggins of Johns Creek, Georgia; grandchildren, Ainsley Carter of Macon, Marcus (Jennie) Wiggins, and Kyle (Sara) Wiggins, both of Peachtree Corners, Georgia; great-grandchildren, Madison Wiggins, Tripp Wiggins, Bo Wiggins, and Maddox Wiggins.
