She started her walk with God at an early age, she moved to St. Petersburg Florida in her 20s. By her 30s she was well on her way to becoming a great worker for God. She was chosen by God and became a minister, an evangelist, an overseer, a spiritual advisor, and preached the Gospel of Christ throughout Florida, Georgia and New York, setting up churches using her charter license. She spent all of her life praying for the sick, ministering to the homeless and doing the work that God had prepared for her to do. Every word that fell from her lips was wisdom, and the words of God. One of her passions were that she hoped and prayed that all 13 of her children would be saved and follow her lead to become children of God.
