During her life she also gave service to God at Penn Creek Baptist Church and Peaceful Baptist Church as a Sunday School teacher, choir leader, and an usher. She was also active in the community as evidenced by her collection of funds to keep the Council on Aging open for service. She enjoyed sewing clothes and quilts, working in her garden and yard planting flowers, canning foods and caring for her family.
Farewell to Mother
Mother, you have always been there for us, wiping our running noses, staying up all night when we were sick, teaching us the value of hard work, disciplining us with a compassionate hand, encouraging us to do our very best, directing us to be kind-hearted and most of all teaching us to love, honor, lean on and depend on God. We will not waste the seeds you planted in our lives. We will always cherish your memory and be thankful to God for blessing us with you.
