Alfred (Al) Wewoka Adkins, 84, of Providence Forge, Virginia walked on to be in the arms of Jesus on Wednesday, April 15, 2026.
He was born February 21, 1942, in Charles City, the son of Opechancanough and Flossie Minnehaha Adkins.
He was predeceased by his wife, Brenda H. Adkins; two sisters, Arleen Jump and Charlotte Allen.
He is survived by his two daughters, Ellen Zimmerman (Sid), Tonya A. Woodard (Kelly); son, Derek Adkins (Jenni); sister, Gladys Adkins; five grandchildren, Kaylah Jones, Callie Martin (Dylan), Conner Adkins, Jayden Woodard and Ellie Adkins; two great grandchildren Braxton Jones and Jasper Martin; devoted lifelong friends, Arnette Adkins, Louis Stewart and Lucille Bradby and a host of other relatives and friends.
Al was a member of Samaria Baptist Church and a proud member of the Chickahominy Indian Tribe. He loved his church & tribal family, attending Powwows, music, fishing, throwing horseshoes, cornhole and was an avid collector. He also enjoyed being a member of the Samaria Messengers gospel group spreading God’s word at several venues within and outside of his congregation.
We would like to thank Gloria from Glowcares Assisted Living, as well as Jackie and Maxine from The Haven for caring for and loving Daddy over the last few months. We would also like to thank the home health care nurses and therapists from Commonwealth Home Care. They were all so very kind and loved him so much. Each of them played a critical role in making Daddy’s last days special.

Visitation will be held Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 6pm-8pm at Vincent Funeral Home, 9923 Pocahontas Trail, Providence Forge, VA 23140. A private burial will be held later.
