Obituary For Jestine "Tom" Erving

Jestine Lewis Erving was born to the late Robert and Ernestine Lewis of Sallis, Mississippi on August 8, 1967. She attended Long Creek Elementary School and McAdams High School. She was part of the class of 1987. Jestine married Emmitt Erving in the lovely month of December.

Jestine joined the Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church at an early age. She was a devoted choir member. She later became head of the Kitchen Committee. Jestine also served as a Prayer Warrior in HIMG Outreach Ministry.

Jestine has been employed with McDonald's in Kosciusko, MS since 1987. While at McDonald's, she had such a positive relationship with those who worked with her, and we all can agree that Jestine was just dedicated and committed to whatever she put her hand to.
