She was a member of The Tabernacle Baptist Church of Dayton, Ohio. She was lively and quick-witted and put her family above all.

She was preceded in death by: her parents Reverend Andrew A Mays and Lula Belle Anderson, her sisters, Audra, Vivian, Agatha, and Beverly, her brothers, Leon, Andrew, Gene, and Franklin, as well as her husband Charles and son Derrick. She leaves to cherish her memory: her loving daughter, Stephanie Enoch (Terrance) of Elizabeth City, North
Carolina, granddaughters, Courtney Foreman (Rahman) of
Addison, Illinois, and Ashley Hull (Alfred) of Chesapeake,
Virginia, sister, Jacqueline Shelton of Southfield, Michigan, and a host of great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, other
in-laws and friends. She will be truly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her. Memorial Service will be held 10AM, Saturday, May 21, 2022, at H.H. Roberts Mortuary, 38 S. Gettysburg Ave., Dayton, OH.
