Those who have lived a good life do not fear death, but meet it calmly, and even long for it in the face of great suffering. But those who do not have a peaceful conscience, dread death as though life means nothing but physical torment. The challenge is to live our life so that we will be prepared for death when it comes.
It is at this time, that the staff and management with the permission of the Sermons Family announce the passing of:
MS. Niyokia W. Sermons of Valdosta, Georgia was born Thursday, November 1, 1962. God saw the road was getting rough, the hill was hard to climb; He gently closed those loving eyes and whispered, “Peace Be Thine.” The weary hours, the days of pain, the sleepless nights have passed; The ever-patient frame has found sweet rest on Wednesday, October 25, 2023.

Niyokia, thank you for the memories of lots of laughter and your stories. You always made us laugh. I love that you were always the same. You cooked for my daughter's wedding and there wasn't a morsel of food left bc you could burn in the kitchen! Rest in the arms of Jesus and give Mom a kiss for me. Thank you for sharing her with me when I needed it most. Praying peace and comfort to your family and all who love you. Rest...
Love, Maria Carter

Niyokia Wynett Sermons I can talk for days about how you were a true friend. We met when we were 15 and you were already driving and doing things to help others. Eventhough life took us in different directions you were always in my heart because I have never met such a humble, genuine and caring person. The trumpet has sounded and you've earned your wings. I hear GOD saying "well done thy good and faithful servant, you have won the race. Time to take your rest. We all must prepare to go meet GOD I just hope there's a seat at the table for me. GOD strengthen her family and assure them that she is resting in your arms
