Nina Delaine Billingsley

Nina Delaine Billingsley, 76, of Childersburg, Alabama, passed away peacefully at her home on December 8, 2025. Born on January 18, 1949, Nina was the cherished daughter of Dewitt and Louise Plyer of Weogufka, Alabama.

A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother, Nina‘s life was a living example of love, kindness, and selflessness. She will be remembered most for her caring and unwavering dedication to her family, placing their happiness and well-being above all else every single day.

Nina was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Paul Whitehurst, her son, Steve Billingsley, her parents, and sisters Wanda and Sharon. She is survived by her daughter Stephanie Billingsley, grandson Rakim Billingsley, granddaughter Lindsay Fluker, and three great grandchildren, Kinzlee, KJ, and Kai.

A mother‘s love is something that no one can explain.

It is made of deep devotion and of sacrifice and pain.

It is endless and unselfish and enduring come what may

For nothing can destroy it or take that love away.

It is patient and forgiving when all others are forsaking, And it never fails or falters, even though the heart is breaking…

It believes beyond believing when the world around condemns.

And it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems…

It is far beyond defying.

It defies all explanation,

And it still remains a secret like the mysteries of creation.

A many splendoured miracle man cannot understand.

And another wondrous evidence of God’s tender guiding hand.
