On July 17th, she inherited her crown of glory in Heaven. At an early age, she accepted Christ under pastorate of Rev. A. W.

June 30, 1989, she retired from the Medical College of Georgia and devoted attention to her favorite pastime of baking cakes for church occasions and family members, especially during the holidays.
