“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing” (2 Tim. 4:7-8 NIV).
On July 2, 2025, Mrs. Verla Lee Todd made her transition from labor to reward. She was the widow of Rev. Dr. Anderson Todd, Jr., General Officer for the African Methodist Episcopal Church’s Department of Ministerial Annuities.
As a beloved and dedicated spouse, mother, and friend, Sis. Todd moved mightily—often silently—behind the scenes. Her wisdom and direction influenced many and will outlive her in the faith and works of those she influenced.
Please be in prayer for her daughter, Denise (Curtis) Cottrell, Nashville, Tennessee. Please direct cards and gifts to her attention, c/o St. John AME Church, POB 280646, Nashville, TN 37228, (615) 481-4753, sainjohname@aol.com (note there is no “t” in saint).
