After a long battle with various health issues, Charity L. Zeigler went to sleep on Friday December 17^th, 2021, and woke up in the loving arms of her savior Jesus Christ. She lived a life of love and devotion to God, her family, the church, and the people she met. She never met a stranger. When she would meet people for the first time, whether in a store, a doctor's office, at a church, etc. she would greet them with a smile and strike up a conversation. Before too long, she would have made a new friend. She lived up to her name, Charity. Her generosity and hospitality could not be matched. Neither could her butter milk pie.

Many from near and far called her Momma. She was a hard worker. At church, she was always somebody's secretary. She taught Bible classes and loved to discuss the Sunday School lesson. But it was her prayer life that was most impressive. She was a true intercessor, calling people by name every night in her prayer time. A true saint, a devoted mother and Friend. Charity L. Zeigler will be missed for a long time. Yet they that are born of God, have the assurance they will see their loved ones again in eternity.

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
