Obituary

Mother Mamie R. Price was born on December 15, 1929 in Live Oak, Florida to the late Deacon James Otis Medlock and the late Mother Neasie Medlock. She attended Suwanee County Public Schools until the family relocated to Orlando Florida. After the relocation, she attended Orange County Public Schools and in 1948 she graduated from Jones High School. During her tenure at Jones High School, she excelled in academics and basketball. She was inducted into the Jones High School Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame at its Centennial Celebration. In 1949, she married James Price and to that union four children were born, the late James K. Price, Myra E. Price, Merdis L. Price and Joselyn M. Price. They were married over fifty-four years until her husband transitioned into eternal glory on May 12, 2004. Mother Price was converted to Christ under the leadership of the late Reverend Cleo Ings. After her conversion, she joined Zion Temple Fire Baptized Holiness Church of God of the Americas (“Zion Temple”), Orlando, Florida and was a member for over 50 years. While attending Zion Temple, she served under many pastors and in various capacities, including Pastor’s Aide, Sunday School teacher and Vacation Bible School teacher. In 1962, the family moved to the historic town of Eatonville, Florida. Mother Price became involved in the civic fabric of the Town. For over sixty years, she worked closely with elected officials and citizens of the Town to enhance the governance and economic viability of the Town. 

Mother Price was a self-taught seamstress and tailor. She became a successful entrepreneur specializing in custom window treatments, where her meticulous attention to detail and skilled hands created masterpieces. Her work reflected the care and pride she brought to her business. After the death of her spouse, she attended Maitland Apostolic Church of Jesus, Inc. in Maitland, Florida under the leadership of the late Reverend Cleveland Clark, Sr. In 2015, Mother Price relocated to Valrico, Florida. She later joined Disciples of Christ Christian Fellowship, Inc.(“DOCCF”) in Riverview, Florida under the leadership of Pastor Kenneth McKay and Lady Mary Jo McKay. She remained a faithful and committed member of DOCCF until her death. Throughout her long and meaningful life, Mother Price strategically navigated the many joys, challenges and losses that accompany life. Through it all, she remained a woman of strength, character and resilience. Her passion for life was expressed not only in the things she created with her hands, but also in the people she loved and the lives she touched. Those who knew Mother Price would describe her as generous, meticulous, and candid. She was a woman who gave from her heart which endeared her to family and friends. On September 14, 2026, Mother Price transitioned from this earthly life into eternal glory.
