I am thankful for the witness and service of Carrie K. Ferguson as she worked with Presbyterian Women and the Board of Deacons of Radcliffe Presbyterian Church. Additionally, she faithfully recorded the presence of members and visitors each Sunday for many years. She used her skills as a librarian to help set up the church library. Bettie Durrah
