Mother Mason, as she was affectionately known, graduated from the Wadley Public School System. She was employed at the Wadley Shirt Factory for many years until the company closed its doors.

She was the mother of 5 daughters and 3 sons and was married to the late Edward Cody, Sr.

She was later united in marriage to the late Ozzie Mason, Sr.

Mother Mason’s life changed dramatically when she became a Christian and joined the China Temple Holiness Church, Wrightsville, GA, under the pastorship of Elder James Blair. It was there that all of her children and grandchildren began their prosperous spiritual journey becoming pastors, preachers, and teachers in the Kingdom of God. She attended faithfully for over 40 years until her health failed. She later joined The Hand of God Ministry under the pastorship of Apostle Dr. Catherine Braswell, her daughter.

Mother Mason made a name around her Wadley Community taking home cooked meals and her famous sweet potato pies to homes of those who were shut in. She loved cooking, shopping, family gatherings and making people smile, oftentimes famously saying, “I’m an old piece of leather, well put together!”
