As the eldest of fifteen siblings, Allie Mae was a pillar of strength and wisdom. She lived out Proverbs 31 - clothed in strength and dignity, always giving freely to those in need. Her early days were filled with joyful purpose as she enjoyed quilting, tending to gardens, and bringing delight to others through acts of generosity.

She was a guiding hand, a steady comfort, and a motherly figure to many raising and shaping young hearts with gentle wisdom and joy. She made her home with the family of her youngest sister and brother-in-law, Florene (Lucas) and Jerry Jerdine. Within that loving household, she helped rear their daughters, Wakeela and Jermeika, along with her nephew Carl David Lucas. She leaves to celebrate her life and beautiful memories created: Wakeela Jerdine (Dexter) Jones of Dacula, GA, Jermeika Jerdine Burks of Madison, MS and Carl David Lucas of Alexandria, VA, along with a host of special nieces, nephews and extended family throughout the United States.
