Myra LaNette Wilson

On Wednesday, June 16, 2021, the sunset and the race ended for Ms. Myra LaNette Wilson (Mother) at the age of 75 after a lengthy illness. She was born on January 1, 1946, in Lubbock, Texas, to Charlie Walker and A. C. Walker (Kuykendall) who preceded her in death. LaNette and her parents relocated to San Antonio residing on the historic eastside in the neighborhood of Denver Heights where she attended Cuney primary and Douglass middle schools in addition to joining and faithfully attending the Coliseum Park Church of Christ (now Dellcrest Church of Christ). LaNette did not complete her formal education opting for marriage and a family. After raising her 6 children she returned to school and obtained several certifications and her GED. She went on to attend St. Phillip’s College where she earned her Associate of Applied Sciences in Nursing. She then worked as a Licensed Vocational Nurse until she retired from Morning Side Ministries. LaNette enjoyed crafting and was known for her handmade and well-thought-out colorful flower arrangements. She also became adept at making wreaths for all occasions and was often sought out by others to make bouquets and arrangements for weddings and various other events. Encouraged through continuous witnessing by her sister, Emma, about the love and redemption for all through Jesus Christ, LaNette became a member of the Greater Lincoln Park Temple. Though she had several church homes she remained faithful to Christ attending service until her health would no longer allow her to be present at Greater New Genesis Christian Center.

Walker; grandparents, Henry and Ada Kuykendall of Floresville, Texas; Aunt(s) Ida Mitchell (Kuykendall) and Ethel Cook; and Uncle, Daniel Mitchell.
