Reverend Dr. C. S. Hamilton, Pastor
Mrs. Ileen H. Buchanan was bom to the parents of the late Mr. and Mrs. Isaac and Bertha Batey. She was the wife of the late Walter J. Buchanan, III. She entered into peaceful rest, Thursday, at 2:15 AM.
At an early age, she joined the Tabernacle Baptist Church, Augusta, Georgia, serving in varied capacities until her death. Being greatly involved in the church, channelled her in many directions. She founded the E.L. Stewart Choir and was serving as its president until her death; was a member and vice-president of the Red Rose Auxiliary, and a past member of the Gospel Choir. Working in the capacity of service seemingly gave her an inspiration and joy; therefore, she served on numerous committees, and was always an active participant who served with a smile.
Ileens educational travails led to her graduation from Homes Industrial Institute. After graduating from Haines Industrial Institute, she continued her formal vocational education at Luvenias School of Beauty Culture, Augusta, Georgia. Sincere inspiration in the field of Cosmetology led her to seek further studies at the Institute of Cosmetology, Detroit, Michigan, where she received her B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees She also received special training at Robert Fiance, New York; M. Lewis Hair Designer School, New York, and Lydias Beauty College in Chicago, Illinois.

Tribute
A precious one from us is gone A voice we love is stilled
A place is vacant in our home, That never can be filled.
Why do we mourn departedfriends, Or.shake at deaths alarm?
Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to his arms.
This isjust another soldier gone To get the great reward.
She fought the fight, she kept the faith And now she has gone home to God.
