What a spirit filled and powerful homegoing service honoring the beautiful life of Mother Annie Mae Livingston. The presence of the Lord was truly felt from beginning to end.

We are grateful to her church family at Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church for hosting such a meaningful service, and to the Allen Chapel Choir, whose uplifting songs ushered in the Spirit and comforted every heart in attendance.

Words of encouragement and comfort were shared by Pastor Terrell L. Blair, Sr., with the service prayerfully presided over by Pastor Floyd Jones. We also thank Minister Sherlen Newton, Pastor Johnny Herring and the Trinity Baptist Church, and the Hawkins Family, who truly ushered in the presence of the Lord throughout the service.

The Marcus A. Allen Funeral Home would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dorothy Cooks, Peggy Livingston, and Leroy Livingston for entrusting us with the care of your beloved mother. It was truly an honor to serve your family during this sacred time.

Please continue to keep the Livingston family lifted in prayer.

We care, and we are always here for you 🙏🏾
