Mrs. Mable was an absolutely wonderful Christian who loved her family, her church, and most importantly her Lord. Her church, the First Baptist Church of Meridianville, was especially important to her and she loved to worship there and she greatly appreciated the deacons giving her a ride to church on Sundays. She was as sharp mentally at the age of 94 as people half her age. She especially loved to cook holiday dinners for her family and, even in her later years when she had trouble seeing, she still found a way to cook those absolutely delicious meals. Mrs. Mable made this world a much better place for all who knew her by her faith, by her Christian example, and by the love that she shared with everyone that she came into contact with. She has now heard the words from her Savior, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
