Wilma Eileen Thompson Black moved from this earth to her eternal heavenly home on Sunday March 27, 2022 surrounded by her family following a battle with cancer. She was born July 2, 1948 in Huntington, WV the daughter of the late, Charles Harlan and Kathleen Meade Thompson. In addition to her parents, she was also preceded in death by her infant daughter, Brenda Kay Jarvis; sister, Patricia Porter; granddaughter, Taryn Chanelle Amos, son-in-law, Thomas Amos and brother-in-law, Frederick E. Kitchen. Wilma retired from Cabell Huntington Hospital and was a faithful member for many years at Christ Temple Church, Huntington, WV where she was a part of the Photography and Video ministries. She is survived by family who dearly love her including sisters Connie Cole, Marcia Kitchen and Joyce Thompson; daughters: Debbie Amos Canterberry (Kevin), Tammy Jarvis-Kelley (Paul), Angie Arrowood (Scott),Teresa Blevins (Richard) and a special bonus daughter, Tina Howell (Eddie); grandchildren: Brandon Ross, Tyler Amos (Katherine), Holden and Spencer Blevins, Grace Arrowood, Jacob Vititoe and Faith Howell; great-grandson, Ashton Amos and many nieces and nephews. Also left to miss her are her African Grey Parrots, Bubby Black and Barbie Yates Black who have been an important part of her life for over 25 years. She was a powerful prayer warrior and for many years would drive what she called her “prayer route”. Twice a day she would take a route that would allow her to drive past each of her daughter’s homes to pray for their families. Our hearts are shattered as we’ve lost our best friend. Mom instilled within us a love for each other and for the Lord. We love you, mom, and will continue our journey until we join you in heaven. It’s not goodbye…. but rather, see you in a bit. Per Wilma's wishes, funeral services will be private for immediate family. Pastor Chuck Lawrence will be officiating. Burial will follow the services in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Huntington, WV. Henson and Kitchen Mortuary 6357 E. Pea Ridge Rd. Huntington, WV near Barboursville is caring for the family.
