Birdie was a sweet lady who gave her life to helping others. After graduating high school she gained employment as a Nurse’s Aide and worked for several nursing homes. She was devoted to God and her church and was a lifelong member of Johnson Chapel Baptist Church. On her free time she enjoyed baking for others. She was famous for her 7-up pound cake, divinity and peanut brittle. We will miss many things about Birdie but most especially her smile.
