Mrs. Floyd spent a faithful life as a wife, mother, and church worker. As she supported her husband's ministry without regret or questioning, many churches benefited from the same effort she gave her personal life. Many meals were prepared, clothes laundered, and Sunday School lessons studied for each and every week. Girls at Rankin Academy who worked with her in the lunchroom had an education in workplace efficiency like none other. There was no bigger cheerleader for Rankin Academy sports and later as a booster for Laurel Knight Hawks. She loved her family, church family and YOU!

Pallbearers will be: Ben Floyd, John Walters, Caleb Walters and the Deacons of Lebanon Baptist Church.

Donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America.
