Mother, Our Aunt May, was a devoted servant to her Lord and Savior and was a charter member of the original Calvary Baptist Church of Greensboro, then became a member of Sixteenth St. Baptist Church, and attended Emmanuel Wesleyan Church. She worked for Blue Bell (Wrangler), VP Corporation for 48 years. Mary was well known for her delicious cooking, especially for her white cakes, (her scratch-made coconut cakes, could have been world renowned). Regardless, whatever she was preparing, it was always fantastic and you were never allowed to leave her home hungry. She was always up for an adventure. Her family and friends always jokingly said her middle name was “Go”, if anyone ever said, “you want to go” she was already in the car! Mary kept and immaculate home and was a gracious host. Mother, Our Aunt Mary, We will miss you unbearably! Until we are reunited again, you will forever be in our hearts.
