She leaves to mourn her passing her husband & sons, grandchildren Charles, Leon, Donna & Stanley; brothers Ranzy, Fred, & Harrison Ennis; plus a host of relatives & friends.
Mother passed away at her home w/the evidence of that greater life after death. She was converted about the age of 15. In later years she, w/her family, united w/the Oak Ridge Methodist Church where her membership remained until her death. She was a faithful wife & mother all through her entire life, always considerate of others - even at her own sacrifice. There can be no tribute paid her that she was not worthy of.
While Mother was on her bed of affliction she sang the old hymn 'I am walking in the Light' & 'My Path is shining Bright.' Then rejoiced in the hope of Eternal Life which but God himself can give.
Mother we will miss you beyond what any words can express, but in our of loneliness you will guard over us. We expect to meet you again when the trumpet shall sound & the dead in Christ shall arise.
