Mother Mattie L. Randall
In times of happiness In times of sadness Her feelings hid deep within Her face always lit with a happy grin. A womam of Love. A woman of Pride. A woman of Strength. A woman who chose God to be her guide. With life's tedious journey full of pitfalls
She always said: ''Just one moment in God's Kingdom
would pay for it all." In life she gave God her best, And now her spirit is at rest.

Mother Mattie L. Randall was born to Robert and Emma Jackson on September 21, 1892 in Montgomery, Alabama.
She married James Arthur Randall, who preceded her in death, and of this union thirteen children were born, seven of whom preceded her in death.
After moving to Chicago in 1923 the Lord saved her and she served in several churches before joining Franklin Temple Church of God Pen~ecostal under the leadership of Elder E. S. Franklin. She served there as pianist, Adult Sunday School Teacher, General Supervisor anrl Church Mother. Following the rleath of Elder Franklin, she joined the Freewill Church of God in Christ where she served as a member of the Board ofDirectors, Church Mother and Emergency Treasurer under the leadership ofElder Dave Davis, E lder Moody L. Jones and Elder James K. Lyles.
Because of her devotion to the Lord, her teachings and guidance, many lives were touched. Her da'ly prayer was uLord make me a blessing so I can be a blessing to someone else" and uanyway you bless me Lord I'll be satisfied". Through trials and tribulations she knew thatjust one moment in God's Kingdom would pay for it all.
