As a member of Guiding Star Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor David Lee, who she honored with love and respect, she served on the church Mother Board and happily participated in missionary work as best she could until her mobility started to fail her. Yet, she believed in Christ Jesus and would challenge others to trust in the Lord Jesus too. She would say, "...all you have to do is, let go and let God." or she would provide a scripture pertaining to your conversation/ situation you may be discussing with her at the time. Mayola’s thoughtfulness and secret caregiving for others blessed a multitude and will forever be remembered. Whether it was her time, finances, a shoulder, or a listening ear she would graciously do her best to help. Her shared wisdom has been embedded in many souls.
