She was a member of Fellowship Free Will Baptist Church and attended regularly until she physically could not. She put her faith in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and she has faith that he died and rose again so that we may have everlasting life. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me.” John 14:6.
