Frank Pelmer ‘Pelt’ Wilkinson

November 29, 2022

Frank Pelmer “Pelt” Wilkinson, age 82, passed away November 20, 2022, at his home in Cantonment, FL, surrounded by family and friends.

Born to JD and Mattie Ruth Johnson Wilkinson, he was the middle brother of three boys. He is preceded in death by his parents, brothers Judge Elmer Wilkinson and Hugo Wilkinson, and wife Jerelda Wilkinson.

Born in Clio, AL, Frank grew up in and around Ariton, AL. His childhood was simple, and he was taught at an early age how to work on the farm and work hard. He continued his hard work by working most of his career with Southern Prestressed Concrete and later with Florida Mining and Materials. He traveled with SPC for many years as the foreman of the construction/erection crew. He was a favorite in the family. Fondly referred to as ‘Uncle Pelt’ by many nieces, nephews, and grandchildren of his siblings. Adoringly referred to as ‘Pelt’ by his chosen children in the neighborhood where he lived for many years in Coosada, AL.

Frank enjoyed being around family and friends, having a cup of coffee and Little Debbie snacks on the front porch and spending time with his dogs Coco and Shelby on the back porch. Despite any obstacles in his life, he lived it to the fullest and with a smile. He loved working in his shop, creating various woodworking and welding artwork for close family and friends.

Frank “Pelt” Wilkinson is survived by his sister-in-law, nieces, nephews, grandchildren of his siblings, bonus daughter, step-daughters and their families, and special friend Ms. Debbie. We are grateful to know that Frank is finally at
peace and no longer in pain.

Services will be held at Faith Chapel Funeral Home on December 2nd at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Jerry Fleming officiating. All are welcome.
