Charitey was a wonderful person! Our paths crossed in a class entitled "Film and Religion". She was a student at Garrett and I a student at Seabury-Western. We discoverd we were natives of Lousiville, KY, members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and the rest became history! We enjoyed viewing and critiquing films and a general analysis of current events. I loved her wry sense of humor, intellect and easy smile. A stickler for details, she would cringe at the misspelling of her name...

Was never lacking in zeal, but kept her spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.

Charitey and I were not only classmates, but friends. She had a quiet and sweet spirit. My heart ached when I received this notice. However, based on her obituary, I believe she had a relationship with the Lord. I thank God for great memories of her. God bless her family during this time of bereavement.

We often thought of Charity, wondered how she was doing and wished her the best. She has often been in our thoughts and prayers. The Young's Chapel AME church where we grew up will never forget you.

May God give your family peace during this time. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. I attended elementary, junior high and high school with Charity. I always thought she was a wonderful and very smart person.
