Sunday School Class. In her
younger years, she was active
in Sunday School, Baptism
Committee, Lord’s Supper
Committee, Vacation Bible
School, Women’s Missionary
Union (WMU), Jolly Agers and
American Red Cross.
While a teenager and young
adult, Mrs. Lord worked as a tele

Telephone Company, until she
began the greater profession of
motherhood. As the girls grew
up, Mrs. Lord actively volun
teered in her daughters’ school
activities and multiple church
activities at First Baptist Church.
She was also known to lend a
helping hand at Friendly Foods
grocery store, where her hus
band was co-owner. She enjoyed
working outdoors, tending their
vegetable garden and her many
flower gardens, which garnered
them “Yard of the Week” rec
ognition on multiple occasions.
When the girls were older Mrs.
Lord re-joined the work force as a
teacher’s aide at Commerce High

ment years Rowena and K.D.

Mrs. Lord moved from her home
on Scott Street in Commerce

Mrs. Lord’s love of music
was first nurtured by her mother
who played violin, guitar, and
autoharp while Rowena and her
sister and five brothers sang
along. Her lifelong enthusiasm
for music continued with daily
doses of hymn-singing and fre
quent visits at the assisted living
residences from children’s choirs
and music therapists from UGA
who were amazed that she knew
all the words to hymns and secu
lar songs from her era.
