Mamaw lived a life of faith, love and service to her Lord, husband, children, family and everyone she encountered. She was the model of the virtuous woman spoken of in Proverbs 31: “She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shaLL be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.”
Pallbearers were Chris Wray, Ben Wray, Jason Leone, Max Teasley, Jr., Todd Leone, Jack Napier, Jeremy Teasley and Cory Leone.
