Jamie, Kathy & family, what a wonderful legacy your Mom leaves. 90 years is a lengthy lifespan and oh the changes she witnessed! May God be with you as you celebrate her life and the many years you shared with her as a loving family is my prayer.

My Aunt Elizabeth was an intelligent lady of sophistication and beauty who was dedicated to her family. She and her sister Desdie had a deep bond that few siblings have known. My mother and I will miss her and we pray for the comfort of her family and loved ones in these mournful days.

Jones Family…So sorry to hear of Mrs.Elizabeths passing. I used to do her hair, and we had a lot of fun! She was always quick witted and so spirited. I know that she was a true southern lady with lots of class, and will surely be missed.
