Obituary

Mattie had a very quiet, sweet demeanor. She never talked negatively about anyone. She was a faithful member of gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church. She served on the United Usher Board, Floral Club, and Ward #4. She along with her sister were the church custodians for several years.
Mattie loved listening to gospel music and Gethsemane's broadcast on the radio. Mattie was often seen mowing her lawn and planting flowers for as long as she was physically able.
Mattie is survived by 6 children who she loved and adored: Irene Benton (Ernest), Gerald Haley (Catholine), Ronald Wallace, Sharon Nash-Sellars (Robert), Maria Smith (Kevin), and Greta Johnson (Bryant) all of Greensboro, NC.
