Bland. She was baptized into The Pentecostal Church of God in May of 1976. She continued in the faith under Bishop Sears, Bishop Evins, Bishop Rice, and now under the
leadership of Bishop James Stoudemire. Many knew her by her good ole soul food
country cooking and her love. She had a generous heart and would help anybody
who was in need. She has provided shelter to many throughout her life, and because
