Her Christian journey started at an early age at Antioch Baptist Church, after marriage she moved her membership to Rocky Mound Baptist Church, she departed this world as a member of Fellowship Baptist Church where Pastor James Fred Williams served as her pastor.

Ms. Grissom was a woman who would always let people know exactly where they stood with her, very outspoken, but would give the shirt off her back or her last bite of food. She loved to shop, fish, cook and sew. When she wasn't doing those things, she spent time on her porch where she enjoyed listening to music, especially blues and gospel.
