Rebecca Wilson, 94, dies at home in Ulmer

Rebecca Wilson’s death at 94 marked a quiet but significant loss in Ulmer, where a long life ended at home on Tuesday, May 26, 2026. Her family is working with B.F. Cave Funeral Home to finalize arrangements.

The brief notice does not yet list visitation, burial or a service time, but it does place the family’s next steps in the hands of a funeral home that many Allendale County residents already know well. B.F. Cave Funeral Home maintains locations in Allendale at 1521 Razor Road and in Ehrhardt at 12726 Broxton Bridge Road, and its obituary listings regularly serve families across the county and nearby communities.

Wilson’s death resonates in a town as small as Ulmer, which had a population of 65 at the 2020 census. In a place that small, the passing of a 94-year-old elder is more than a family loss; it is the fading of another thread in the town’s shared memory.

Allendale County’s official history places Ulmer in a settlement area with roots reaching back to the 1700s. The land around the community has long been associated with Ephriam Ulmer and John Williams, adding depth to the setting where Wilson lived and died. That history gives the notice extra weight for neighbors who understand how tightly linked family names, land and local memory remain in this part of the county.

For now, the family’s announcement gives friends, neighbors and extended relatives a clear point of contact while they wait for fuller service details. In Allendale County, where funeral home notices often provide the first public word of a death, Wilson’s obituary has already done what such announcements are meant to do: it told the community that one of Ulmer’s elders has died and that formal arrangements will follow.
