Mattie was a devoted daughter, sister, mother, grandmother and friend. However, her greatest devotion was to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. She grew her faith, was a lifelong member and foot soldier for the Lord at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church, Joliet, IL under the founding leadership of the late Pastor James McNear and most recent Pastor Clint Wilburn until she literally could no longer walk.

Mattie was a hard and dedicated worker and retired from JTHS.

In Mattie’s last days she continued to be brave, hardworking, faithful and committed to her life’s assignments until God called her home.
