Obituary For Pastor Wilma Jean Roberson-Bussey (83)

"When peace like a river, attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say It is well, it is well, with my soul. It is well with my soul It is well, it is well with my soul."

It is with profound sadness that Harrington Funeral Home Inc., announce the earthly transition of Pastor Wilma Jean Bussey.

The Matriarch of The Bussey Family has fallen asleep, Servant of God, well done. Rest from thy loved employ; the battle fought, the victory won, enter thy master’s joy.

Pastor Wilma Jean Roberson-Bussey, age 83, of Valdosta, GA., exchanged time for eternity as she gained the wings of a dove, and flew away to be at rest on Thursday, July 30, 2020.

She was born to the late Deacon Benjamin J. Roberson and Lillian Bryant Roberson on March 17, 1937 in Adel, GA. She received her education in the Clinch County School system. In the 1950’s she received her Cosmetology license and shortly after that she also received her CNA certificate and was a Private Caretaker for over 20 years to a loving and caring family.

She received Christ in 1960. In 1965, she accepted her call to ministry. In 1969, the family moved from Miami, FL to Valdosta, Ga to start a ministry under the great leadership of Bishop B. F. Carter, Sr. In 1973 through the leading of the Lord, she co-founded Victory Revival Pentecostal Holiness Church along with her husband, the late Bishop Albert L. Bussey, Sr. Overseer Bussey ministered to many people Nationally and Internationally from the Bahamas to Germany during her many years of Evangelism. After the passing of her husband, she served as General Overseer until her passing.

Well before her transition, from labor to reward, she had joined the ministry of Victory Bible Believers Fellowship, Inc. in 2016 under the leadership of her son, Bishop Albert L. Bussey, Jr., DD.
