Inscription
Minnie Mae Presley,
June 17, 1890,
May 8, 1980.
Her children rise up and call her blessed,
her husband also and he praiseth her.
Proverbs 31:28.
She was a gracious lady, our precious mother and a virtuous woman.
In simplicity she taught us.
With God given wisdom she guided us through hardships and heartaches and taught us to look to God for our strength.
She was love in motion and with a quiet, sweet, gentle and humble spirit, she was our close and trusted friend and a friend to all who knew her and she was loved by many.
The flower that never faded.
She was the queen of our home.
We love you and we deeply miss you.
