Willie Washington 'Bae Bee'

Mr. Willie Washington passed away Saturday, March 5, 2016 at Marine Creek Nursing Home in Fort Worth, Texas. Age 65 years. He was born September 9, 1950 to Mary (Washington) McDaniel and Johnny Brown in Tallulah, Louisiana.
Willie, lovingly known as BaeBee grew up in Tallulah, Louisiana. He relocated to Saginaw, Michigan in 1969. After relocating to Saginaw, Willie was employed with General Motors and retired after 20 years. In 1973, Willie became a dad to his pride and joy, his daughter, Cassandra. In 1975, he met the love of his life, Erine (Stone) Washington. They were happily married for 30 years. Willie enjoyed cleaning but what he loved most was having a good time with his family and friends. Some might say he missed his calling in life as he was an extremely comedic person. He always had a way of making you smile and laugh. His laugh was infectious to the point that when you heard him laugh, you wanted to laugh also. He will be truly missed by all who knew and loved him.
He leaves to cherish his memory one daughter, Cassandra Denise Washington, Suitland, Maryland; two stepchildren, Jacqueline Stone, Dallas, Texas and Anissa (Derrick) Johnson, Severn, Maryland; grandchildren, Marvin Stone, Saginaw, Michigan, Monique Stone, Jalana Nettles, Shardana Nettles, Myesha Nettles, all of Dallas, Texas; fourteen great-grandchildren, sister, Mary McDaniel, Tallulah, Louisiana; five brothers, James Berry, Saginaw, Michigan, Eli McDaniel, Saginaw, Michigan, William (Nancy) Washington, Detroit, Michigan, Isaac (Ingrid) McDaniel, Germany, and Mose McDaniel, Jr., Flint, Michigan; many nieces, nephew family and friends including niece, Tunisha McDaniel and nephew, Charles Carethers; three aunts, Victoria Washington, Alton, Illinois, Cellie (Washington) Farris, Tallulah, Louisiana, Nellie (Washington) Thomas, Detroit, Michigan and his stepfather, Mose McDaniel, Sr.
Mr. Washington was preceded in death by his wife, Erine Washington, mother, Mary McDaniel, brother, Henry Buster McDaniel, and sister, Thelma Louise Big Bae Smith.

The family would like to express special thanks to the nursing staff at Marine Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation in Fort Worth, Texas (500 Wing), and Elder Joseph Grace of Spiritual Israel Church of Saginaw.
