Obituary for Vernell Singleton

Vernell W. Singleton, 104, of Gainesville, Florida, passed away February 11, 2026. She was born October 7, 1921, the second of eleven children, to the late Ike and Malvina Young-Williams. She received her education in the Alachua County public school system. With her husband, Alphonso Singleton, of 73 years, they had three children. Mrs. Singleton was an active member of Pleasant Plain United Methodist Church for over seventy years. She served in many capacities as long as her health permitted. She continued her Christian works by attending Bartley Temple United Methodist Church. In the 1970s, Mrs. Singleton became a member of the Eastern Star Queen of Sheba #163. She was the oldest member in the state of Florida. She was also a member of the Female Protective Society. Vernell Singleton was preceded in death by her husband, Alphonso Singleton, daughter, Joan “Alene” Cox Nattiel, son, Alfonso Singleton, grandson, Rodriquez Nattiel, son-in-law, Albert J. Spencer, two sisters, and six brothers. Many will greatly miss Mrs. Singleton’s wisdom, warm smile, sense of humor, and gentle demeanor. Hopefully many will aspire to continue the same, especially her family; granddaughter/caregiver, Venitra S. Newton, daughter, Annese S. Spencer, grandchildren; Vernnese S. Leger and Andre L. Spencer, (Jeanne Leffler), Dwayne Cox, (Melanie), Lolita Singleton, Ava S. Hughes, (Jerome), Greg Singleton (Lana), Otis Nattiel (Alicia), adoptive daughters; Veronica Mitchell and Vakya McDougle (Timothy), brothers; Jimmy Williams (Felicia), Herman Williams (Barbara), and former son-in-law, F. W. Newton Jr.
