Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for

his name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the

shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou

art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort

me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the

presence of mine enemies:

Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup

runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all

the days of my life: and I will dwell in the

house of the Lord forever.

Ms. Viola Thrower

Life Reflections Ms. Viola Thrower was born on October 1, 1939. She

was born and raised in Rebecca, GA., to the late Eddie

& Annie Lee Holmes Thrower. She attended

elementary and high school in Rebecca, GA. She later

moved to Miami, FL, where she met her daughter's

father, the late P.V. Edwards, who passed before the

birth of their daughter, Joan Edwards. Viola then

moved to Douglas, Ga, where she met the late

Vietnam War Vet PVT, Edis Black, who was the father

of her son Lee Roy Thrower, "Baby Boy," as she called

him.

Ms. Viola worked at Harrell's Dry Cleaners and South

Georgia College for several years. She attended

Williams Chapel under the leadership of Bishop Nuby

Jean Williams, where she played the bass drum for

many years. Ms. Viola was a true praiser and

worshiper. She loved God, and as long as the church's

doors were open and she could attend, she was there.

Ms. Viola loved her church family. She was truly

indeed a good and faithful servant.

She is preceded in death by eight siblings: Adella

Young, Roxella Thorton, Mary Lee Austin, Susie Mae

(Jerry) Robinson, Mamie Lue Wilson, Clarence

Thrower, Willie C. Thrower, and Anderson Thrower.

She leaves to cherish her memories: two loving

children: Joann Edwards (Conner Crook) of Douglas,

GA., and Lee Roy (Cheryal) Thrower of Miami Fl; five

wonderful grandchildren: Antorius (Sakia) Baldwin,

Antwana Edwards, Latorya "Coco" (Eric) Hall,

Makeischa (Kadeem) Bailey, Latrelle Thrower; a special

grandson: Bronswellus (Aquintha) Kent, along with a

host of greatgrandchildren; eleven siblings: Martha

Mae Thrower, Bernice (Jimmy) Jones, Ruth Mae Foster,

Annie Bell Sutton, Joseph Thrower, Jim (Mary Lisa)

Thrower, Eddie "Snook" Thrower Jr., Perry (Gail)

Thrower, James (Pam) Thrower, Matt (Vivian) Thrower,

and Fred Wilson; and a host of nieces, nephews,

cousins, and friends.
