Join us to celebrate an earthly life well-lived and a joyous passage into eternal life. Mama’s favorite color was yellow, and she loved the Georgia Bulldogs.

Wednesday in the sanctuary of Crawford Avenue Baptist Church. The family will greet friends one hour prior to the service in the Daniel Chapel. Reverend Brian LaFavor will officiate.
