Mattie Jo Davidson Stephens

From the time I joined Salem Missionary Baptist Church and joined the choir, Mrs. Mattie was always friendly and sweet. I was always greeted in the kindest way. Always asked about my son and grandsons, and, always had something encouraging to say. She and I talked from time to time on the phone. I had the opportunity to speak and pray with her for a little while shortly before she went home to Glory. She was looking forward to returning to Salem after the pandemic, and, returning to the choir. I will definitely miss her. I found a friend in her. A friendship that I will cherish. (Paulene Kinsey)

Aunt Mattie I will miss our talks and laughing until words would not come out and you sitting with me when mom was always having surgeries and bringing lunch for us. I love you for those moments and those encouraging words. Rest my sweet Angel. Cookie

I'll miss her smile. She was my friend and I'd like to think I was hers also. I'll miss you Miss Mattie. JoAnn Smith

My favorite memories of my aunt Mattie is when we all climbed into cars and wagons to go down to see Big MOMA Down in the country, aunt Mattie and MOMA would cook we'd all just loved on each other and enjoyed each other company, these were my BESTmemories of my aunt Mattie jo. I will miss her the most
