Mattie was known affectionately as, “Baby,” by her husband, “Mama,” by her children and “Grandmama,” by her grands.

She was a devout Christian and enjoyed reading her Bible and sharing the Lord with anyone.   

She enjoyed camping, reading, spending time with her family and grands. She loved all of her dogs, owls and was an avid nature lover. Two of her favorite Facebook “stalkings” were Frannie and the Postman and Longhorn Lesters. She could tell you everything about them. :) She loved Nascar racing and Atlanta Braves baseball.  

Mama had a heart of gold, and she will be loved forever and missed by all who loved her
