A bold and self-confident woman; she was blessed to enjoy many of God's blessings as a child, a sister, a wife, a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, a friend, and most of all, a child of God.

 
She accepted Christ at an early age at the Mt. Bayou Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Rev. R.H. Atkinson. She remained a member of Mt. Bayou.
