Our resident spotlight for the month of April is on Abbie. Abbie was more than happy to share her story with us. In fact, she wanted to tell us about the beginning of her journey word by word!

Joan Brown was born in Memphis, Tennessee on July 22, 1943, and moved to Georgia when she was 10 years old. She has been blessed with 4 children (3 daughters and 1 son) and 4 grandchildren (2 girls and 2 boys). Her oldest grandson has also blessed her with 4 great-granddaughters and a great-grandson! 

Verdelle was born in Dawson County to Roscoe and Stella Tatum. There were six children, 5 girls and 1 boy. Later the family moved to Forsyth County, Georgia. One particular house where the Tatums resided on Kelly Mill Road in Cumming is still standing.
