Legacy of Love

Elizabeth truly loved the Lord with all her heart. She demonstrated God’s love through the fruits of the Spirit, always loving, ready to give and minister God’s word. Sharing the goodness of Jesus is what truly made her soul rejoice. Sedonia dearly loved her family, her pastor, his wife, and her many friends. She especially unconditionally loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. She loved to eat, take great pride in looking sharp and beautiful, and listen to gospel music; She knew how to cut a step. While we all had special moments with her, Tina, Luther, and Tony loved their mother. Her nieces and nephews loved it when they were young, and she would keep them over the summer in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where she lived, while fixing the best spaghetti and fried chicken.She left her memories to be cherished by her three children, Tina, Luther, and Tony, eight grandchildren, and eight great-grandchildren - one son-in-law and two daughters-in-law, and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends. "The family wishes to express our profound gratitude to Ms. Dee, her caregiver, her Earthly Angel, for her love, compassion, and exceptional care.
