Lottie worked as a receptionist at Graham Medical Associates for 27 years. She also was the Director of Food Services at First Baptist Church for 15 years after her retirement from the medical clinic. She was a member of First Baptist Church in Graham. Lottie was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend. Most importantly, she was a faithful servant to Jesus and followed Him throughout her life. She was the perfect example of what having a servant’s heart was supposed to look like here on earth. Lottie loved to cook and used that gift to serve others and show her love through her food. Lottie loved to paint and do crafts with her family. However, her greatest enjoyment came from watching her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great great grandchildren participate in all of their activities and having an active role in showing them all the love of Christ.
