Drexler, Mary Elizabeth (Graham) 95, went to be with our Lord on April 29, 2011 at her home. Elizabeth was born in Danville, KY Nov. 18, 1915. She was a member of Parkland Baptist Church, and a long time member of Victory Memorial Baptist Church. She enjoyed her independence, as well as her friendships, as a resident at Farmdale Adult Citizens Towers for 21 years. For the last 7 years she was cared for in the home of her daughter, Charlene. She sustained her faith in the Lord through many trials including a tragic car accident at the age of 22 which left her paralyzed from the waist down for 73 years. Eleven years after the accident, she gave birth to a second daughter, followed by another daughter 4 years later. She raised her children, cooked and kept house from her wheelchair. Her faith, smile and positive attitude were an inspiration to everyone.
