Christine Lavannah Powell

Christine never met a stranger she was loved by all and every one of her children's and grandchildren's’ friends knew her as mom or granny. She loved to crochet in her spare time and do cross word puzzles. She was a woman so of course she loved to shop. She was always willing to jump in where needed, like at her son’s baseball practice they were short a player and she filled in like one of the kids. She was retired from the city as a School Traffic Officer after 25yrs of service. She worked many other jobs throughout her life such as, private investigator, taxi driver, cotton mill worker, and at Scott paper during WWII while the men were at war.
