missed by a host of other relatives and dear friends.

A masterful homemaker, Earline was known city-wide for her supreme sewing skills and her

unforgettable cooking - especially her banana pudding, jelly cake, and chitterlings. She truly knew

her way around the kitchen. Earline had a heart for children and cared for every child who

crossed her path. "Grandma's House" was the headquarters for cousin meet-ups, family

gatherings, and lasting memories. Daily greetings of "Hey Mrs. Earline" echoed as friends and

family stopped by just to say hello.

She and her beloved Buster made sure that everyone who walked through their front door was

fed, loved, and cared for in ways not many know. Earline found joy sitting on her porch, tending to

her plants, and appreciating the simple blessings of life. She loved her family deeply and never

missed an opportunity to tell them how much they meant to her. Gratitude and appreciation were

a part of her everyday life.

Earline was a faithful and dedicated member of Salem United Methodist Church, serving the Lord

until He called her home. Her love, warmth, and generous spirit will be

remembered and cherished always.
