Mamie was a member of Winter Park Baptist Church in Wilmington.  Over the years she was very active in her church and enjoyed reading and studying her Bible.

Mamie was a loving mother, grandmother and sister.  She was Jimmy’s biggest cheerleader when he played four years of college football and never missed a game. With a green thumb, Mamie enjoyed being outside working in her yard and loved her flowers and flowering trees. She enjoyed numerous crafts, hobbies, reading, gardening, canning, cooking and baking.  She was also a great seamstress and made many of Pat’s dresses as a child. During her later years, Mamie comunicated with over 50 pen pals from all over the United States. Mamie lived a full life and truly loved others.  Having a tenth-grade education and later her GED, she was employed with a large industrial supply company as a bookkeeper and had many responsibilities and duties.  She loved her job and took great pride in doing her best.  Most of all, Mamie’s children were her life. She loved them and was fully devoted to them.  Treasured memories of Mamie will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
