Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: And the fruit of the womb is His reward. (Psalm 127:3) Madea, Aunt Tinnie, Mother Tinnie, Granny and Great Grandma were a few of the names earned over the years by the reward bestowed on November 25, 1926, in Cropwell, Alabama, to Henry Olen Threatt and Carrie Singleton Threatt by way of the birth of a daughter, Tinnie Lavonia. Tinnie accepted Christ at an early age and at the time of her passing, Mrs. Green was the oldest living member of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church of Cropwell. She loved the Lord and throughout the years served him in the capacity of usher, mission society member and sang in the senior choir. She received her education in the St. Clair County School System. Once Tinnie entered the working world, she found employment with the Pell City School System and served as a caretaker for those in need of her touch of tender loving care. When Tinnie was not working or caring for her family and others, she enjoyed fishing, cooking and baking. She also volunteered with the New London Neighborhood Watch where she helped prepare and serve breakfast for the community. She enjoyed playing scrabble and cheering on the Dallas Cowboys.
