She had many passions, one of which was teaching Sunday School—a role she cherished for many years. Through it, she touched countless lives and faithfully shared the Word of
Jesus. A devoted supporter of missions both at home and abroad, her heart was always inclined toward service and outreach. She had a deep love for music and a beautiful voice that she joyfully shared from a young age. Whether singing alongside her sisters and mother or lifting her voice in the church choir, music was a profound part of her life and worship. Her love for God's creation was evident in the peaceful sanctuary she cultivated on her back patio, which blossomed with flowers and welcomed hummingbirds and songbirds alike.
Above all, she loved her family dearly and lived her life in unwavering devotion to the Lord. She was a faithful member of Olive Branch Baptist Church, where she will be deeply
missed.
