teacher, business woman, horticulturist Daughter of Aunt Artie and Uncle Ben Harrell. Among the best mothers and grandmothers that ever lived. Liberal in her family, loved her friends, and loyal to her community, state, and nation. Taught many boys and girls to read and write. Organist for Springhead Baptist Church, gave organ lessons. Built and rented houses. Helped to develop Plant City and the great citrus industry of Florida. She lived contemporaneously with the eras of the ox cart, horse and buggy, railroad, automobile, airplane, and the atomic age. Excellent Bible scholar. In the twilight of her life, she often quoted 2 Timothy 4:7-8 "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." Do you find comfort in this quotation together with verse 8? She is now with her Father in Heaven, but her influence lives on in many others. Is this a phase of immortality? |
