Sister Elizabeth Smith

Mrs. Elizabeth Smith was born in Valdosta, GA to the late Mayo Robinson and Ester Alderman Robinson.

Sister Elizabeth was a true Proverbs 31 woman. She was trustworthy and willing to help those in need. She graciously served her family, her friends, and her neighbors with a very loving spirit. She worked willingly and diligently with her hands to help provide the needs of her family. She nurtured her children and grandchildren with the love of Christ.

She served God with all of heart, mind, and soul. Daily, she sought God’s will for her life and strived daily to follow His ways. She was a faithful member of Mt. Vienna AME Church where she served faithfully as a usher and deaconess. She was a woman of worth and beauty that could only come from Christ which created not only beauty in her life, but in the lives of her loved ones and all that knew her.
