OBITUARY
Dessarree Suggs was born to the union of Robert and Mazy Cain in
Memphis, Tennessee. She lived a very fruitful and highly spiritual . life until her demise at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, November 20, 1979 at City of Memphis Hospital.
She was converted at an early age at Pilgrim Baptist Church under the p~torship of Dr. W. Herbert Brewster. Her lasting testimony is. that she was a friend upon whom -you could depend; a mother who made the supreme sacrifices for the love, health and comfort of her
children.
She remains in the memory . of her husband Walter; her seven children, Harold, Raymond, Walter III, Reginald, Carl; Mary .and Janice. Also mindful of her life are two sisters, Blonzella and Earline; her brother, Richard; ten grandchildren, nieees, nephews, one great-uncle, Charlie Johnson; other relatives .and friends.
With us as was with he-;:- ''the joy of the Lord is our strength."
