Celebration of Life 
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A 
time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that 
which is planted. ~ Ecclesiastes 3:J-2 
A Time To Be Born . . . 
On November 4, 1928, to the union of the late Thomas, Sr. and Lillian 
Louise Hicks Green, the eldest daughter was born, Elizabeth Louise Green 
Swint, in Augusta, Georgia. 
A Time To Learn . . .

School, and A.R. Johnson Senior High School. 
A Time To Serve ... 
Elizabeth was baptized at an early age at Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Au- 
gusta, Georgia where she sang on the Senior Choir. For many years, she 
served on the Deaconess Board, was President of the Senior Missionary Soci-

She remained active as a member of the Senior Choir, Senior Mission, and 
the F.F. Cook Memorial Choir. She also served as Treasurer of the H&R 
Missionary Circle and a member of the First Shiloh Association.

wedded bliss. The years they shared together bore witness to the dedication

Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair, perhaps you sent a 
floral piece, if so we saw it there. Perhaps you made a benevolent contribu- 
tion, if so we appreciate you. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words any friend 
could say, perhaps you were not there at all, just thought of us that day; what- 
ever you did to console our hearts we thank you so much ... Whatever your 
part. Again, we thank you.
