One Friday at a revival in, Jeffersonville, OH, under the preaching of Evangelist Hargrave, on September 18, 1964, she gave her heart to Jesus.

Amelia was a member of The Church of God in Jeffersonville for her entire walk with The Lord and worked tirelessly towards Kingdom Matters until quite recently. She witnessed to her love of Jesus everywhere she went through her life and her deeds. Amelia enjoyed life and had many activities that bought her joy including spending time with her sister, Mary Lee, driving, music, arts and crafts like crocheting, making dolls, knitting and pouring guidance and love into countless nieces and nephews.
