Marthenia & Barbara Legacy Service of Love Recognition

---

In honor of our mother, Martheina. Our mother was a beautiful, sweet woman of God. She was affectionately known as "Sissy" and "Marty" and of course "Mommy" to her girls and "Granny" to her grandchildren. She was a loving woman of God who dedicated her life in loving service to God, loving her family and caring for those in need in the community. She was a reader in the Catholic Church and an Intercessory Prayer Warrior from her Methodist upbringing. She instilled in her children a love for God and family. She worked in the prison system in the accounting department and where she often found herself ministering to the inmates. She would feed the homeless and served the youth in the community through her involvement with a local marching band. Although she never learned how to drive, she made sure her girls did. She valued commitment to God, and living according to His Word. She encouraged us to get a good education, career, and having the right husband. She always supported her girls and grandchildren's activities cheering all of us on with enthusiasm. We miss her very much but she has given us a strong legacy of love for God and family, and community. We are honored to be her legacy and we commit to leave a loving legacy to our generations.

In honor of our mother, Barbara.  Our mother was a beautiful, sweet woman of God. Barbara Elizabeth Warren DeBerry, taking her middle name from her maternal grandmother who was blind, leaned early for the caring of other which fostered into her nursing career. Having worked in the private sector of nursing, she had a strong faith in God and the forgiveness of others. She was committed to her family.
