She was also a child who was very devoted to her mother clinging to her for support in all the walks of life. Her stepfather Mr. Jesse Hinton was also a great salvation in supplying her with care and attention that is needed to fulfill the requirements in the young ones life who at all times she seemed to love so much. Besides a host of relatives and friends she leaves to mourn her loss, a mother, father, one sister Marie and two brothers, Robert and Hubert.  Our loss is God’s gain. We know there is one more Angel added to the number now in heaven. The Lord in kindness freely gave. His holy name now let us bless in sovereignty, he takes away;; because his love doth with us stay.
