Zandra "Niecey” Worthy-Walker

News Channel 7 -- The body of 28-year-old Zandra "Niecey” Worthy-Walker arrived at GSP Tuesday morning with family and friends looking on.  Several community members say they were also there for her homecoming out of respect for the job Walker was doing.

   
Neicey Walker's name will be put on the memorial wall in downtown Greenville remembering all military people who died from our area, but what won't be inscribed on the memorial is who she is, or that she has an identical twin sister who is also in the army.

 

 Tricey Worthy-Weathersby says the minute her sister died in Iraq she wasn't whole any more.  They have been together since before birth, and even when they were deployed separately they found ways to keep in touch.  While Niecey was in Iraq just north of Baghdad, Tricey was in Kuwait with her unit.  And she says she was very uneasy and couldn't even sleep on August 15th.  Later she found out her twin was killed in an attack.



"That night, I almost felt sick or whatever. I was still feeling sick that morning so when I got up I called home and my older sister told me."

  
The last time Neicey was home was just two months ago on emergency leave when her younger sister died of a brain tumor.  No one in her family expected that would be the last time they saw two of the five girls in the family.


The memorial service for Neicey will take place at the S.C.Franks Chapel of Remembrance in Greenville at noon on Thursday.           

    
The funeral will be held at Mount Hopewell Baptist Church in the town of Sharon on Friday at 2 pm.  She will be buried with full military honors at the church's cemetery.

My condolences to the family of this Soldier. She did her job, and is now among the honored dead.
