The Obituary

Mrs. Willie Bell Byers was born on March 25, 1949, to the late Mr. Willie Charles Teague and the late Mrs. Henry Netter Teague. Sister Byers was baptized in the name of Jesus at Overcoming Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ and received the gift of the Holy Ghost in the early 80’s. She worked faithfully as an Usher, Junior Missionary and Cook until the Lord called her home on August 29, 2021. Sister Byers grew up in the St. Clair Springs and Ashville, Alabama areas. She graduated in 1967 from Ashville Colored High School. She worked for National Cabinet and Sheffer Corp before deciding to return to school in her 50’s to study Child Development. She received her 26-hours Child Development Certification from Gadsden State Community College. In 1997, she became a Head Start employee for Community Action Partnership of North Alabama and later East Coast Migrant Head Start Project of the Chandler Mountain Center in Steele, Alabama.
