Vina (Ayers) Hembree, 86

Vina was saved as a young girl, baptized in the creek behind her home and belonged to Gibson Station Missionary Baptist Church. She believed in serving the Lord and serving her fellow man. Many can attest to her good works and good Christian example.

She is survived by her daughters Nancy Miles and Carrie Hembree; her grandchildren Sara Mason, Troy Perry and wife Kirsty, Kimberly Hunt and husband Darin, Mikki Plaster and husband Jamey, Wendy Bunch and husband Jimmy, and Kevin Miles. She is also survived by 14 great grandchildren whom she adored: Lane and Libby Perry; Gryffn and Halley Hunt; Dylan, Christopher, Brook and Samantha Plaster; Zoey Mason; Morgan and Tanner Bunch; Cassie, Aliya and Malachi Miles. Vina is survived also by her sister-in-law Bunie Ayers and brother-in-law Bug Carmony. As well as a host of nieces and nephews, cousins, friends, and church family.

Visitation will be Saturday September 18th at Gibson Station Missionary Baptist Church from 12 until 2 PM. Funeral services will follow at 2 PM, with burial in the Hembree Family Cemetery directly after services.

The family prefers masking and social distancing due to the Covid-19 Pandemic.
