ETBU Honors Alumni During Homecoming Week
MARSHALL NEWS MESSENGER (10/24/15) - Nell Wilkerson is East Texas Baptist University's oldest living alumni at 99 years old and she feels she has lived this long in order to receive a prestigious award from her alma mater.
Nell was one of three university alumni to be named a Golden Lightkeeper by the university's alumni association on Friday.
"I often wondered why I was hanging around this world for so long," Nell said Friday. "I think this might have had something to do with it."
