CELEBRATION OF LIFE

Alma Drake (nee Glenn) was born April 24th 1933 to the loving parents Otis Glenn and Beatrice Glenn of Decatur Mississippi.  Growing up in a religious family she was baptized at an early age.  She was an educated woman and she worked as a seamstress, silkpresser and a CNA.

Alma Glenn was united in matrimony in July 1947 to Otha Drake (1925-2018).  This union was blessed with seven children; Otha Lee (1991), Nona Jeweline, Aaron, Stanley, Margaret, Charles and Alton (2011).

She was a strong woman of high character.  Her love for the Lord led her to become an ordained minister in June 1990.  She then went on to fulfill the work to which God led her.  She departed this life to continue her journey with the Lord on May 1st 2019.  She leaves her children, fourteen grandchildren, her brother Leonard, a host of nieces, nephews, great grandchildren and many other family and friends.
