On May 19, the New Gethsemane C.O.G.I.C Pastor Archie Lee Levias Sr. in Richmond celebrated Mother Mary Smith’s 103rd birthday. She was born in 1921 in Louisiana. Mother Mary Smith worked in many people’s homes. She was so small she had to use a stepstool to wash the dishes and cook. She was called ‘Little Sister’ because she was tiny. Mother Smith supported her community by working at her church and making soup for the soup kitchen to distribute to the needy. She is a mother of seven children, 57 grandchildren and 87 great-grandchildren. She had together all six generations at her celebration.
