Condolences for the family of “Dorothy Mae Terrell”
Mother Terrell was a kind and loving person. She had a contagious smile. She served faithfully on the usher board at the Galilee/ New Jerusalem Baptist church. She didn’t say much but she loved her family and some ribs with a cold Pepsi. Sorely missed by all who knew her.
Dea Al and Sister Lucille Duncan
