Servant of God well done; rest from thy loved employ, the battles fought, the victory won; enter thy Masters joy. The voice in the early mom came, she started up to hear, A mortal arrow pierced her frame; She fell, but felt no fear.
On Tuesday morning January 20, 2004, the Angel of Death visited and took home for eternal rest a devoted wife, mother, grand mother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and friend, Sis. Cora Ann Lowery.
She was born July 15, 1945, in Brooklyn, New York to the late Joseph Thompson, Sr. and Zenobia Mclntyre.
She attended Butler High School in Barnwell, South Caro lina and Augusta Technical School in Augusta, Georgia from which she graduated in 1965 as a Practical Nurse. She was employed at University Hospital for 38 years as a Licensed Practical Nurse.
On December 22, 1965, she was united in Holy Matrimony to Samuel Jones, who preceded her in death. This union was blessed with two children.
At an early age she accepted Christ as her personal Savior and joined the Mt. Sinai Baptist Church in Martin, South Carolina. Later she joined Beulah Grove Baptist Church, Augusta, Georgia where she served on the Senior Ushers Ministry. Her family affectionately called her Super Usher #2. She was a member of Ebony S&S Club.

Tribute To (grandma
It was Tuesday, January 20th When I heard
And thought it was a myth Or maybe I misunderstood Everyone gathering in a room
To hear the news It felt like our lives were doomed But I already knew from the clues
h happened at 8:20 yesterday When everything stopped
Like the Earth stayed still for that day When Grandma's heart stopped It was Tuesday, January 20th When I heard And thought it was a myth Or maybe I misunderstood Grandma had died
I thought without Grandma it wouldn't be the same And all we did was cry
I cried all night calling her name She always made me smik
And always told me to reach for the stars Always pushing me to go the extra mile Always jokingly saying, while you're at it, reach for Mars
Always cherish what you have Because you never know how long it'll last
And you'll finally see what you have Won't forever last
Always remember the better times And I won't sing this sad song for long I'll always remember the good times
Because it won't be long Because when my time is up I'll see grandma and say, "WHAT'S UP?"
