This Tribute To Our Family Matriarch was presented at the 40th Annual Peters-Clements-Gazaway Family ReUnion In New Orleans, Louisiana July, 2013

James Edna Peters-Wells

As we celebrate our 40th Annual Peters-Celements-Gazaway Family Reunion, we would like to pay tribute to the matriarch of the family,

JAMES EDNA PETERS-WELLS

James Edna is the oldest living family reunion member, celebrating her 91st birthday on May 30th.

Edna was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama.  She graduated from Miles College with a B.S. Degree in Education.  She taught handwriting and math at the Elementary School level and retired after 32 years of dedicated service.

Edna is best known for her home cooking and southern hospitality.  She has opened her home, her heart, her kitchen, her purse and her wardrobe to anyone and everyone.

Proverbs 31:10 reads: “Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies.”  So we would like to honor our family Jewell and thank her for the love, wisdom and inspiration that she has shared with us.

BamBam as she is affectionately called by her grandchildren and great grandchildren is still going strong and lives with her daughter, Rosalyn and her family in Birmingham.

GOD BLESS YOU JAMES EDNA
