Calvary Baptist Church where she served faithfully as past President of the Deaconess Board and also was a Mother of the Church she loved her Church and her Church Family.

Delores gained pleasure in gardening and received numerous awards from the City of Akron for her beautifully landscaped yard that she would sit for hours out in and tend too. She was a true Cleveland Indian Fan and watched the games faithfully and loved eating at the Cathedral Buffet.

Only knew her through your posts and videos but even from afar got to love her. Can't believe she's really gone after those spirit filled videos of her speaking and kidding around She has taught us how to make a graceful exit. Leticia What a great job

Hello, I had the opportunity to meet Moma Howard because her daughter LeTecia wanted her to have a Slice of Bonita's Southern Style Sweet Potato Pie's, LLC and I sung my jingle. What a smile that on her face when she tasted the pie, she told me I am not telling you this pie is good just to be polite but GIRL this pie is GOOD. She even joked that she was not sharing with LeTecia. She had such a Beautiful Glow. What an honor for God to use me as a vessel for this One MOMENT in Time. Beautiful Lady and I know she is rejoicing in Heaven. I Love you LeTecia and just know your surrounded by soo much LOVE and GOD Love's you. God Bless. Bonita Y. Carlisle- Mathews
