On Friday, June 5, 2015, at 4:00 PM, she graciously accepted the ride from the chariot of angels that God lovingly had sent for her and completed her journey where He received her back into Himself.

She was raised by her grandmother the late Mrs. Ada Green Walters and her aunt the late Mrs. Eva Walters Alford. She accepted Christ at an early age. She was born and raised into the Methodist faith. After being a member of Pleasant Chapel A.M.E. Church for almost fifty years, she recently joined Church of The Living God Gateway To Heaven under the tutelage of Rev. Ruby Baker and Rev. Vick Dennis. Because of her declining health she started every Sunday off with inspiration from Bishop Noel Jones, Pastor Joel Olsteen, Bishop T.D. Jakes, Pastor R.A. Vernon and Pastor Corby Bush.
