Mrs. Emma Paul

Emma Lee Peggie Paul was born March 15, 1947 in Parkin, Arkansas to Charlie Parker and Christine (Rogers) Parker.

Emma was an exceptionally smart woman. As a young lady, she read the encyclopedia from cover to cover. With determination, she even taught herself shorthand and superb typing skills. Emma also loved to look pretty. She took pride in being a beautiful woman. 

Emma's greatest love was for Jehovah God. He was truly the source of her strength and she instilled the love of Jehovah in her children. Her children meant the world to her and she often sacrificed in order for them to live a better life than she could provide.
