THE LIFE & LEGACY

OF

Deaconess Elizabeth Wells Mason

“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven;

A time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

a time to kill and a time to heal; a time to break down and a time to build up”

~ Ecclesiastes 31:1-3

A TIME TO BE BORN:

According to God’s will and Purpose, Elizabeth Wells Mason, was born to the union of the late Benjamin and Emma Parham Wells, Sr. on July 20, 1930 in Jarratt, Virginia.

A TIME TO BE TRAINED:

Elizabeth was educated in the Merry Oak School. She loved Reading and Arithmetic.

A TIME TO LOVE:

On December 7, 1946, Elizabeth united in Holy Matrimony with the love of her life, Moses Lee Mason. Together they shared 64 years of marital bliss, before he passed away in December 2010. Moses and Elizabeth made their home in Emporia, Virginia and were blessed with six loving children.

A TIME TO SERVE AND WORK:

Elizabeth professed her faith in Christ at the tender age of 11; was baptized and she united in Christian Fellowship with Little Shiloh Baptist Church of Emporia, Virginia.
