Mrs. Pollard was a devoted homemaker and a talented seamstress, quilter and crafter. She loved to travel and was the co-director of Brundidge Three Arts tours for 26 years. Mrs. Pollard was also an avid scrapbooker and recorded all family events as well as travel experiences. These memorabilia provided many hours of pleasure during the last seven years as she battled the degenerative effects of Parkinson’s disease. She was a dedicated Christian who emulated the characteristics of a virtuous woman as recorded in Proverbs 31. She leaves her family the legacy of a life well lived.

A private graveside service will be held at Lakeview Cemetery in Brundidge with Green Hills directing. There will be no visitation,
