My darling Aunt Charlotte added so much life to any room. While she was living in Arkansas I had the fortune to spend much time with her. Rocking hunting was always interesting with her and i loved just the two of us spending time together, scrambling along some dry creek bed. She loved to play dominoes with her sister, Peggy and brother in law Tobe and I had such fun playing with them all when visiting. I have such sweet memories from my childhood, but am blessed to have spent time as an adult. Such a sweet Christian and so strong in her faith. I know that Jesus is enjoying her company now.

Sister Beebe Was Known As A Prayer Warrior, That Prayed With All The Women At The Church At 801 Border Street In Orange For Years! I Remember Her Dedication To The LORD JESUS CHRIST; And, The Holiness Standard That She Upheld Before The World. She Did Not Hide The Light That The LORD Gave Her; But, Shared That Testimony With All Those That She Came In Contact With. What A Pillar In The Church! Darwin Hinson.
