Mrs, Mottle Bell (Kitchens) McCrary, a native of Hancock County, Georgia, was bom August 7, 1928 to the late Charlie Cooper and Dovie Kitchens.
She was converted and baptized at an early age at the Second Mineral Spring Baptist Church, Mitchell, Georgia and later moved her membership to Thankful Baptist Church, Augusta, Georgia, where she served faithfully on the Usher Board until she became ill.
She entered into matrimony with the late Leonard McCrary, Sr. in the year of 1943. To this marriage four daughters and one son were born.
On Wednesday, December 21, 1994, Mrs. McCrary entered into rest at the University Hospital.
She leaves to mourn: four devoted daughters, Mrs. Dorothy Mays, Brooklyn, NY, Mary McDonald, Pauline Harris, both of Augusta, GA and Edith Stallings, Brooklyn, NY; one devoted son, Leonard McCrary, Jr. of Augusta, GA; one sister, Lillie Mae Williams of Sparta, GA; a devoted mother-in-law, Mrs. Mamie McCrary of Augusta, GA; a son-in-law, John Mays of Brooklyn, NY; a devoted daughter-in-law, Mrs. Gwendolyn McCrary of Augusta, GA; five sisters-in-law, one brother-in-law, fourteen grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews, and many friends.
A precious one from us has gone! A voice we loved is stilled,
A place is vacant in our hearts that Can never befitted.

THE DAY GOD CALLED YOU HOME God looked around His garden andfound an empty space. Then, He looked down upon the earth and saw your tiredface.
He put His arms aroundyou and liftedyou to rest; Gods garden must be beautifulfor He only takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew that you were in pain He knew you never would get well upon this earth again. He saw the roads were getting rough and the hills were hard to climb, He closed your weary eyes and whispered, "PEACE BE THINE". It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone; For part ofus went with you the day God calledyou home.
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED, THE FAMILY * *
We, the family, wish to express our appreciation for all acts of kindness shown during our time of bereavement.
