Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt went home to be with the Lord on Sunday January 13, 2013 at the age of 83 years. She was born August 30, 1929 in Montgomery, Alabama to Willie and Jimmy Mae Hooks.
Mattie was a graduate of St. Joseph Catholic School. She was a former member of Tabernacle Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Butler and Pastor R. B.
