Alma Marie Spaulding-Caldwell

Alma Marie Caldwell of Callahan, FL passed away on March 21, 2024, at the age of 98. 

She was married to the late Harrie Caldwell of Callahan, Fl.  Alma moved from the mountains of West Virginia with her family to Jacksonville at the young age of 20.  After several years of “city life,” they migrated to Nassau County, FL to slow down. 

Alma is survived by two sons: Elba H. Caldwell, of Callahan and Dewey P. Caldwell (Mary), of Callahan.  One granddaughter, Firefighter Shelby Caldwell of Gainesville, one daughter of love Sheryl Caldwell, and two brothers Fred Spaulding (Silvia) and Bobby Spaulding (Gloria) as well as numerous nieces and nephews. 

Alma enjoyed “going”; it didn’t matter where you went,  she wanted to “ride”.  She loved a good cheeseburger with Krystal’s being her favorite and never turned down dessert.  

Alma was immensely proud of her family, told everyone she met about her granddaughter Shelby, and could remember more than the average person until the time was no longer her friend.   Even As her health declined; she never once thought it was because of her age. 

Doctors and nurses alike often remarked: “There’s nothing against her but time.” 

Funeral services will be held on Monday, March 25, 2024., at 12 PM in the chapel of Cedar Bay Funeral Home, 405 New Berlin Road, Jacksonville, with chaplain Jackie Hayes officiating. Interment will follow in Evergreen Cemetery, Jacksonville. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Monday starting at 11 am.
