"A LIFE... FULLY COMMITTED TO GOD" CONSTANCE "CONNIE" MARSHALL "... be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." --Rev. 2:10 The greatest pride afforded the lives of Elder Harvey L. Sr. and Mrs. Luewill Wilson Marshall was for God to bless them on January 11, 1970 in Orlando, Florida, with a beauti_ful daughter, Constance--lovingly referred to as "Connie". From infancy, the Lord blessed Connie with unique qualities of meekness, humbleness and kindness. She loved life and reverenced God for His anointing in her life. She received her education in the Orange County Public Schools; namely, Lake Weston Elementary, Lockhart Junior High and Edgewater Hig h School where she graduated in June of 1988. Connie loved working with her hands and concentrated her studies in the area of computers. Connie's life was ce ntered around her church and her family. At the age of 10, she began playing the organ--a musical gift from God. Her keen "ear'' for music resulted in her excelling as a talented and anointed music messenger. Her religious aspirations included rendering faithful service to God as a Sunday School teacher of the kindergarten class, Sunday School Secretary, member of the Purity Band, Y.W.C.C., Hospitality Group, Organist for both the Youth Choir and District Choir. Connie gained the respect and love of her peers and other mentors. As a music minister, she was a member of a singing group, The Trinity Singers, which included her sister, Jackie, and loving Mother. Connie was an energetic and industrious young lady who utilized her skills and raining in the technolog ical field of data processing. She was employed at Westinghouse Electric Corporation as a Data Ent ry Clerk. Connie's life was de icated to the Lord at an early age. As the oldest sibling, she kept busy by staying abreast of the latest gospel music; being the "best friend" to her sister; serving as a role model for her younger brothers and making her parents happy as an "Ambassador of Christ" who was fully committed. On Thursday morning, May 18, 1989, at 2:00 a.m., Connie was transformed from the labors of this world to a place where she will eternally be "safe in the arms" of her Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

" --Proverbs 31:29 Jacquelyn Patrice Marshall, the younger of her paternal twin brother, Harvey L. Jr., was born on August 28, 1977 in Orlando, Florida, to Elder Harvey L. Sr. and Mrs. Luewill Wilson Marshall. "Jackie", as she was called, was reared along with her sister, Constance, and two brothers in a home where Christian teachings began at infancy. From a baby, Elder and Mrs. Marshall taught Jackie how to reverence and acknowledge God in all her undertakings. She loved her family, the church and excelled as an outgoing student while attending Lake Weston Elementary School. Jackie was a sixth grader at Lockhart Middle School where she was active in the chorus and loved running track As a member of her father's church, she loved the fellowship of the saints each time she went to church. Jackie was a member of the Sunshine Band, Youth Choir and The Trinity Singers. Her goals included filling the lives of her parents, loved ones and peers with the utmost respect as a virtuous "Ambassador of Goodwill" who was committed to the teachings of our Lord, Jesus Christ all the days of her tender life. On Thursday morning, May 18, 1989, at 2:00a.m., Jackie "finished the race which had been set before her." As they were together in their earthly tabernacles, Jackie and her beloved sister, Connie, were transformed from their earthly tabernacles into a house not made with hands, but ones eternal in the heavens.
