She was preceded in death by grandson Kingston Nehemiah Taylor; siblings: Frances Ramona Cannon (sister), Herman Cannon (brother), and Elaine Edwards (sister).
She confessed a hope in Christ at an early age at Boston Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend Oris Mays. She served Christ in a plethora of capacities until her death. Some of which was Community Outreach Ministry in 1994. She was called into the ministry in 1992 and ordained in 1996 under the tutelage of Pastor Henry Rambert of New Era Ministry. She created a youth gospel choir entitled “Perfected Unlimited” which ministered to young people and provided encouragement in their circumstances.
She graduated from Melrose High School in 1971 where she was voted the “Most Wittiest” by her classmates. She continued her higher education at University of California, Los Angeles in the studies of nursing. She later began a career in the Customer Service Industry with FedEx Corporation in which she traveled to multiple states training new employees. She earned various promotions, recognitions and rewards with the FedEx Corporation before retiring after several years. During her early years, she enjoyed volunteering as a Candy Stripe Nurse at local hospitals. She loved Music, Dancing, High Fashion, People and most of all her family. She made the world’s best sweet tea and never missed an opportunity to help others. She was known for being a blessing to the Orange Mound Community (The Belt Line) by providing hands on care for others, by cooking (Foodtown Grocery), assisting with the upkeep of their homes and being the smile they needed with encouraging life changing words. “Momma G”, was funny and always had a big smile on her face. You never knew if she was having a bad day. She was the life of any party. Because of her high energy, spunk and free spirit, her grandchildren loved her and often compared their time with her as being with Peter Pan.
