She is the sister-in-law of Louise D. (Elder Sterling) Perkins, Patricia Garrison, Leo (Charlotte) Garrison, Sr., Marva (Alfred) Gibson, Nadrine P. (Rev.

Andre Woodard (Jazanique), son of Elise Fox, was very close to his Granny who was another mother to him. She loved spending her time loving and caring for her great-grandchildren, Aaniylah Johnson, Kaiden Woodard, Ja’Niyah Woodard, and Amir Woodard. 
Her main profession was being a mother to the motherless and a listening ear to anyone who needed counsel. There was never a person who she would not open her home and heart to.
