Affectionately known as Mimi, she left behind a legacy of teaching and demonstrating to all of us the importance of a strong faith in the Lord. She lived a life exemplary of what every Christian aspires to attain.
Family will receive friends on Friday, January 13 at Pinetta First Baptist Church from 1-3 p.m. with services immediately following. Burial will follow at the Cherry Lake First Baptist Church Cemetery.
