Clarence Brown, Officiating Phinazee Funeral Directors In Charge OBITUARY To one who bore the sweetest name, And added a luster to the same, Who shared our joys, who cheered when sad, One of the greatest friends we ever had; Peace to her, but theres no other Who can take the place of our mother. Your Loving Children On Wednesday night, July 22, 1987, at 11:00 oclock p.m., the Angel of Silence came into the room of Sister Sadie Mae Corker Allen, Waynesboro, Ga., and sealed the lips of Sister Allen from her earthly labor to reward. We love her dearly, but God loved her best. Sister Sadie Allen, a retired homemaker, was born March 11, 1919, in Burke County, Waynesboro, Ga. She was the loving daughter of the late Charlie Corker and Ida Jackson. At an early age, she was converted, bap- tized and joined the Fellowship Baptist Church. She was dedicated to her family, friends and community. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her and appreciated her friendship. She always carried a smile and a cheerful joy wherever she went. Sister Sadie Allen was also a member of the UBA Society, Friendship Lodge No. 528, Zion Chapter No. 42 of Order of the Eastern Star and Fleroines of Jericho Lodge No. 223.

To this union were born 13 children; three of which preceded her in death. She leaves to cherish her memory: five sons and their wives, Mr. Otis C.

SPECIAL TRIBUTE FROM THE GRANDCHILDREN As much as our hearts do sadly yearn for one more glimpse of grand- mas smiling face which is now filled with Gods amazing grace; with Gods redeemed there is no death; its only passing through the valley with Jesus to live forever more. We love grandma but the Lord had a need of her in glory. THE ORDER OF SERVICE Rev.
