Today, we are especially proud to honor our mother, Mrs. Mattie Addison Gethers — a woman whose life has been dedicated to service, compassion, and uplifting others.

A retired educator and, even at 95 years young, still serving as a funeral director, her legacy continues to inspire generations.

💜 Teacher. Mother. Funeral Director. Legacy Builder.

We celebrate her life, her wisdom, and the countless lives she has touched along the way.
