I've known Mrs. Mangrum for 60 years and have always admired her. She was the backbone of the Family! After working 8 to 10 hours every day at GE, she'd come home, clean house, do laundry and still have a hot meal on the table by Suppertime., An Elegant Lady, she was loving, protective and charming, but when Mike and John got out of line...she could dole out the punishment! Mrs. Mangrum was a devoted Christian Lady. There is no doubt in my mind where she will spend Eternity. My Love for the Mangrum Family runs deep and even tho I haven't seen her for a few years, I still feel a big Loss. Godspeed Mrs. Lena Mangrum!!
