Elizabeth Legette

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

On July 16, 2019, Mary Elizabeth Burroughs Legette “Ham” entered into eternal rest after a brief illness at Carolinas Hospital System in Florence, SC.

Mary Elizabeth “Ham” was born July 21, 1931 in Dillon County to the late Will and Lottie Hodge Burroughs. The baby of ten, seven girls and three boys.

To relax she would sit and do puzzles.
