    "Aunt Allie" as she was affectionately known to many, will be remembered for the many hours she
devoted to the care of the church altars. Each weekend, as she lovingly arranged the beautiful bouquets-
with flowers, more often than not, from her own gardens-she would burst forth in joyous song, and
the church would resound with the lovely sacred melodies.  Sometimes the pastor, overhearing, would
steal in from outside, unnoticed, just to listen and enjoy.
