Elizabeth’s parents were very active members in the Green Lake AMWE Zion Church in Gibson, NC where Elizabeth attended Sunday school and sang in the Junior Choir. Elizabeth served on the Trustee Board, Stewardess Board, Deaconesses, Senior Choir, Usher, Missionary Society and Secretary for General Claims. She and her late husband cleaned and did everything they could for their church. Their home was the place to go for a healthy meal, a hug, a prayer and encouragement to read the Bible daily.

She believes that relocating to Paterson, NJ and becoming a member of First AME Zion Church was the greatest blessing of her religious life. The gifted teaching every Sunday and the warm welcome she receives Sunday after Sunday has added to her life.

Elizabeth has been a mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, cousin and grandmother to many, but most of all she has and will always be a true friend to all who count on her. She loved her family and others unconditionally.

Advice for others: “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. “2 Corinthians 9;6-8
