Perhaps you sent a tender song or sat quietly in a chair
Perhaps you sent some beautiful flowers If so we saw them there
Perhaps you sent or spoke kind words As any friend would say
Perhaps you were not there at all Just thought of us that day
Perhaps you prepared some tasty food Or maybe furnished a car
Perhaps you rendered a service afar Whatever you did to console the heart We thank you so much - Whatever the part.

THE OBITUARY
MRS. JUNIA J. FAMBRO
A Fountain of Goodness and Hope
On November 19, 1999, Junia J. Fambro made her debut as a strong alto with the Celestial Choir of the Angels. She was born on June 9, 1894 to Augustus M. Jordan, Sr. and Nancy Kitchen Jordan in Bibb County, Georgia. She became a blessed centenarian demonstrating courageous fortitude and sharing good fortune throughout her lifetime.
At an early age, Junia joined St. Paul A.M.E. Church where she was a faithful willing worker. She held active membership in The Phyllis Wheatley Literary Club, The
No. 2 Stewardess Board and The Missionary Society. A
loyal prayer advocate and staunch financial supporter, she contributed constantly to assure the successes of Church programs. The Church awarded her a plaque for fifty years of dedication and service.
Junia completed her early education in the Macon Public Schools. She attended high school at Morris Brown High School in Atlanta, Georgia. She continued her studies at Columbia University, Morris Brown College, Hampton University, Atlanta University and Fort Valley State College. She received the Bachelor of Science degree from Fort Valley State College in 1942.
From 1918 to 1921, Junia taught at the Morris Brown Training School. She left Morris Brown in 1921 to join the faculty of Paine College, Selma, Alabama. In 1922, she took a position as teacher at the State Teachers and Agricultural College, located in Forsyth, Georgia.
In 1925 Junia went to Fort Valley as a teacher of Domestic Science at The Fort Valley High and Industrial School. In 1932 she was appointed as manager and dietitian of the Samuel Henry Bishop Memorial Dining Hall. When the Fort Valley High and Industrial School became Fort Valley State College in 1939, Dr. Horace Mann Bond, the first president, retained her as the dietitian of Fort Valley State College. She has received numerous honors and awards including the following honors from Fort Valley State, Outstanding Service for the Upward Bound Project, SNEA Service, Acclaims from the Athletic Department and Outstanding Service to the College.

THE OBITUARY (continued)
zealous pursuit of perfection. Not only did she provide food for thought but also food for the body. At Fort Valley State College where she was affectionately called "Ma Fambro11 , she became a fountain of goodness and hope for countless needy students. She was called the twelfth member of the football team as she overfed players and boosted their morale. She provided food for other students who could not pay for meals. She facilitated housing for students who needed lodging. She created jobs for those in dire need of income and appreciation for the value of the work ethic. In her Dining Hall, she commanded respect and proper attire and manners generating alternatingly wholesome fear and reverence.
Mrs. Fambro was a part of a legacy as she served under Mr. Henry Hunt, second principal; Dr. Horace Mann Bond, the first president; Dr. C. V. Troup, the second president; and Dr. W. W. E . Blanchet, the third president.
In 1969, Junia J. Fambro retired from The Fort Valley State College after forty-four years of faithful and loyal service. For all of her goodness to that institution, on October 26, 1984 she was inducted into its National Association Hall of Fame. Her name was then placed among the most outstanding personalities in the history of Fort Valley State College.
Until failing health prevented active participation, Junia was an involved member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and The Fort Valley Chapter of The Links, Inc. At the time of her homegoing, she was the oldest known member of The Links.
Junia dearly loved her family and they will sorely miss "Aunt Ju" and "Cousin Junia". On December 22, 1946 she married Lorenzo Fambro, who preceded her in death as did three brothers and two sisters.
Survivors joining the celebration of memories include the following: her devoted nephew, George Carl Hale, M.D.; niece, Nancy 0 . Jordan, MSW; niece, Sarah T. Hale, Ed.D.; grand nephew, George Carl Hale, Jr., MBA, of Cincinnati, Ohio; grand niece, Valerie A. E.
