Mrs. Wilhelmenia Johnson Stroud was born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina on December 12, 1940. She entered eternal rest on August 6, 2026.

She attended the local schools in the city and was a graduate of the historic Simon G. Atkins High School.

A member of Antioch Christian Church, she exercised her faith by participating in many of the church ministries. Outside of her home, she worked at Carolina Narrow Fabrics as a knitter.

Her favorite past times included: cooking, watching Law & Order, TCT Network, being with her loving family and providing selfless support to them. She was a walking history book full of knowledge about her brothers and sisters. Wilhelmenia was a caregiver for anyone in the family who needed her.
