Elizabeth Haynes Jackson, affectionately known as “Bae”, was born March 23, 1941, in Dickey, Georgia to the late Reverend Anthony and Cleo Henry Haynes.

At an early age, Elizabeth confessed her life to Jesus Christ, and joined the Mount Nebo Baptist Church in Dickey, Georgia.

At an early age, Elizabeth was united in Holy Matrimony to Mr. Carthel Lewis Sr. This union was blessed with two children, Carthel Leon Lewis, Jr and Martin Lewis.

As a hobby, Elizabeth liked cooking but more especially for her family, friends and for the church events. Elizabeth rejoined Mount Nebo Baptist Church and shortly after, was selected as “The Mother of the Church” by her members in the mid-2000s. She was a faithful member of the church until her health began to decline.
