I’m going to tell you about my Nana, Deaconess Mabeline Edmond- Smith. She was born on June 28^th, 1951. She was born in Calhoun City, Mississippi. She is a skillful seamstress and a cook. People in the church often bring her clothing items to repair, because she can sew just about anything. She attends Tupelo COTLG, where she serves as the tithe secretary and sings in the church choir. She is a faithful servant to God and the church. She can always be counted on to help with the housekeeping duties of the church, and she does it willingly. She is kind and always greets people with her warm smile.
