Mrs Annie Pear Martin's favorite scripture is found in Proverbs 3:6: "In all ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path." The church was her foundation. Her faith helped her accomplish all things in her life and was the basis of her beliefs: loving deeply, never hating, finding joy in doing rather than receiving, and living peacefully with her fellow man.
