OBITUARY
Sister Minnie Lee Bruno was born to Joe and Rebecca Maddrick on January 4, 1909. She departed this life on September 26, 1998.
Sister Bruno was born in Burke County Georgia, where she received her formal education and was baptized at McCullough's Covenant Baptist Church. She was a faithful, life long member of McCullough'.;, maintaining here membership while living for many years in St. Petersburg, Florida, and in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for the last four years of her life. While living in Oak Ridge she was a faithful and dedicated member of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. Sister Bruno was united in holy matrimony to Worthen McMiller who preceded her in death. To this union two children were born: son, James McMiller and daughter, Rebecca McMiller Edwards. She was united in marriage a second time to a loving, faithful and devoted husband, Charlie Bruno who preceded her in death.
Left to cherish her memories are: son, James of St. Petersburg; daughter, Rebecca of Oak Ridge; three granddaughters, Joyce Striggles of Oak Ridge, Debbie Edwards and Vivian McMiller of St. Petersburg; two grandsons, Alvin Striggles of St. Petersburg and Vincent McMiller of Tampa, Florida; seven great-granddaughters; one great-grandson; two great- great-grandchildren; one brother, Clarence Maddrick of Jacksonville, Florida; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousin, and devoted friends.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be bom, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted: A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laught; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to
embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away; A time to rend and a time to sew; a time to keep silence; and a time to speak; A time to love; and a time to hate; a time of war; and a time of peace.

WE DO NOT SAY GOOD-BYE
&
We do not say good-bye who come to mourn. The tears we cry are really not for you. We are the lonely, we are sad, forlorn for when you died a part o f us died too. It is for us the living to endure. The aching pain your passing left behind; your happiness is finally secure, you have the peace which none o f us can find.
The reason you were chosen can't be known. We would have kept you longer if we could, but God called you unto his very own. He surely must have thought that you were good. While missing you will make life incomplete. The memory o f your presence will not die and since some happy day again we'll meet. A s you proceed we do not say goodbye.
