Mrs. Lizzie Pearl Ransaw was born on July 10, 1935 in Chambers County, Alabama to the late Reverend Willie Lee and Mrs. Arbell Hardnett.
She was a dedicated and long-time member of Early Rose Baptist Church in Alexander City, Alabama, though she started her love of church at Pine Hill where she sang in the choir as a young girl.
Mrs. Ransaw departed this life at Chapman Nursing home on October 11, 2022.
She is preceded in death by James Ransaw , her loving and devoted husband of 58 years.
She was spoken of very highly at the nursing home with many comments of her sweet and gentle nature with a kind spirit.
She leaves to cherish her memory her four children; Mrs. Tenia Reyes, (Hector), Mr. James Terrence Ransaw (Christine), Ms. Jacqueline Ransaw, and Mr. Gregory Ransaw (Susan); loving grandmother to three grandchildren: Christine Wilson, Jordan Reyes, and Braxton Ransaw. She also leaves to cherish her memory her final remaining sister Mrs. Veola Hall (Ernest) of Severn, Maryland.
We cherish her memory with the following poem and wish her peaceful sleep in God’s Perfect Love:
The Broken Chain
We knew little that morning that God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone;
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
Your love is still our guide;
And though we cannot see you,
You are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same;
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
