Legacy Remembrance of ABBC:
Norma A. (Couch Simpson) Frazier (08/02/1937- 06/28/2025): Norma held a dedicated role at the ABBC as being the President of the Women's Missionary Union (WMU), Leader of the Women's bible study, Women's Sunday School Teacher and a devoted Christian. Norma often spent time asking questions, searching for answers and researching about the historical context to biblical scripture. But most of all, spreading the gospel and her love for Jesus. Her history goes back as far as 1969 when she married August E. Frazier on March 14th.
