Women’s Aglow
by SHERRY DIGMON
A while back, I wrote about finding a real treasure at a thrift shop
in Baldwin County. Imagine my surprise when I opened it and read
this inscription:
Sept. 1988
To Gayle
Our Vice President
Our Friend
Our Sister in Christ
For your inspiration
Your Encouragement
and Your Faithfulness
We love you
Women’s Aglow of Atmore
On the opposite page are 13 members’ signatures. Some are
deceased. Some still live here. Names included Martie (?) Long,
Evelyn, Carolyn, Sue Maddox, Mazie Weaver, Jane Rogers,
Jackie Brown, Marion Bedford, Mary Stallworth, Dolores Oden,
Anne Wells, Lucille Albritton, and Dot Albritton.
When I started in the newspaper business in the early 1990s,
I remember covering some of the Women’s Aglow meetings. At some point, the group disbanded.
In that article, I put out a call for anyone who was in Women’s Aglow at the time or had any knowledge of it to get
in touch with me. Well, sure enough, Carolyn Morris got in touch. I thought I remembered that she was in the
organization, but I had not reached out to her.
Carolyn shares her memories of Women’s Aglow - and a picture of the officers one year - on the next page.
