In remembering the life of Pernina Mathis, one must mention her relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. She was a life-long member of the Greater Grant Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Church serving on various committees. She enjoyed Christian music and spent many hours listening to gospel radio stations or Christian TV stations. Every Christmas she would make a Birthday Cake for Jesus and a party for Him was held with candles and singing "Happy Birthday".
Beside these activities, Pernina enjoyed gardening, writing poetry, working cross word puzzles, and attending activities at the Moncrief Senior Center.
For thirty years, Pernina made her home on the Northside of Jacksonville in the neighborhood of Lake Forest. In her final years, she was a resident at Lakeside Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
