Graduating as Valedictorian of her high school class at the age of 15, her brilliance served her the rest of her life. She married Wayne County native David B. Dukes on April 1, 1955, and dedicated her life to the service of her family and her church.
After 18 years, she retired as the Branch Manager and Vice President of Federal Land Bank and Farm Credit of Jesup, GA. Following her retirement, she began working as the financial secretary of First Baptist Church in Jesup, where she served in this role for over 31 years.
Her home became a welcoming beacon of warmth and love as she hosted innumerable events and fed the youth of First Baptist Church for multiple generations. She is fondly remembered as a loving mother and grandmother to all who knew her.
