She was a long time member of First Baptist Church in Pearl and, in more recent years, attended church with her son and his family at Metro Baptist Church. An avid reader Motha dedicated time for reading her Bible daily. She was a true prayer warrior, raising her fervent petitions for protection and guidance for her family and friends.
