Katrena was the real deal when it comes to serving Jesus. We worked together at Wacoochee Jr. High and Smiths Station Jr. High..we prayed together and talked about the Lord many many times.. she visited my church and i visited hers.. we went to a women's conference together near the back water and she ended up being a speaker there.. I had to quit working due to health issues so I didn't know about it until she was already in Heaven but I'll always love her. God speed to her family and loved ones.
I am sending my deepest condolences to The Chadwrick and Mack Family.I am sorry for your loss.πππ.

Praying for my coworker/friend Brianna & her family . May god continue to comfort you all
With heartfelt sympathy, condolences, and prayers for the family.
We will never understand when we have to lose a love one or a good friend but I realize that Jesus just wants us to come home and be with him. God bless the family in a mighty way.
Katrena was a prayer warrior with a beautiful smile for everyone including the kids at Wacoochee and Smith's Junior high. We worked in the same school for many years and were in a prayer group together. We have prayed together, celebrated together, and cried together. After I retired I didn't see her much, but she is my sister in Christ and she will be missed. She shared her faith with everyone.
My Condolences to the Family Members
My most sincerest condolences to the family . My Heart is truly broken but my faith is surely in the most high God that my beloved sister Katrena will awaken to her perfect physical, emotional, and spiritual restoration in heaven, which God has promised her and every who has passed through this earth that have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Rest well My Sister! Working daily on my resting place. So I can join you on that great getting up morning when we dance like David did. Before the presence of the Lord Jesus The Christ.
Psalms 91 tells us that those who live in the shelter of the Most High will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty! Trena lived in the shelter of the Most High and therefore we can find peace knowing that she is resting in the arms of Jesus!! So rest well great woman of God and all who know him will see you again on that Great Getting Up Morning!!! Sincerely,Rev Jimmy and Marcia Parham.
I meet Trena in Fredrick Douglas I can remember her beautiful smile.Always was cheerful and full of love she always would pick with my kids they loved her as well .Rest in peace you will truly be missed .Gloria and Family
Trena and I worked together at Wacoochee Jr. School before they moved over to Smith Station old high school. But on Christmas Eve 2024 me and my sister saw her at Ross store here in Opelika, She and I talked and reminisce about the days when we use to work together with the school system. And when the new year came in I texted her to wish her and her family a happy new year. Little did I know that would be the last time I would see her. I send my love β€οΈ and sympathy to her family. May Jehovah give her family the strength to get through this time of bereavement. She was such a loving person. I will miss you Trena.(Agape) π π π
