Mother Bernice Anderson was born to Stephen and Virginia Brewer on November 7, 1929, in Rison, Arkansas.
Mother Anderson was retired from J.C. Penney where she worked in retail for many years. She accepted the Lord as her personal Savior prior to joining Victory Temple Church of God in Christ in July 2012, under the leadership of Pastor Lafayette Whitley and First Lady Katherine Whitley. Pastor Whitley appointed her to serve on the Mother’s Board and Hospitality Committee where she served the Church willingly and faithfully. She believed Pastor Whitley is a Man of God and was willing to do whatever she could to support the Church. She “loved” her Church.
