Newman AME Church Commemorates Mrs. Early Patsy Montgomery's 106th Birthday Celebration

Celebrating a remarkable milestone, Mrs. Early Patsy Montgomery marked her 106th birthday on April 3, 2023, surrounded by her church community at Newman AME Church in Pontiac, Michigan. Born in Carbondale, Illinois, she enjoyed a 66-year marriage before her husband's passing. Today, Mrs. Montgomery is the proud matriarch of three children, along with 13 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren, and 11 great-great-grandchildren. Among her cherished activities at church is her involvement with The Queen Esther Club, where she frequently expresses her affection for fellow members. Rev. Yolanda Whiten, the pastor of Newman AME Church, highlights Mrs. Early's sharp memory and rich conversations that reflect on history while remaining informed about modern events. Advocate for civic engagement, Mrs. Early made her voice heard by voting prior to the November 5 election deadline and encourages others to register. We celebrate this inspiring testament to God's grace and blessings!
