Silas Arthur Nobles

Silas Arthur Nobles, age 83 of Macclenny passed away Wednesday, December 7, 2022 at the Community Hospice George and Margaret Morris Center for Caring. Born on February 17, 1939 in Waldo, Arthur was raised in Baker County by the late Mr. Henry and Mamie Parkerson.

He was preceded in death by his parents; sisters: Srforney Moore, Dolly Mae Streat, and Liona Stewart; as well as a son: Jamie “Gary” Nobles.

He is survived by his children: Terry (Connie) Nobles and Charlotte Nobles all of Westville, and Samantha Bryan of Jacksonville; nine grandchildren; his “little nurse” Angelica (Stephen) Nobles of Macclenny; numerous great-grandchildren; his “main nurse” Melissa (Michael) Harris of Macclenny; as well as a host of cousins, nieces, and nephews.
