Momma lived for almost 50 years in Stockbridge, Georgia with her family and lived her final three years at Dunwoody Place Assisted Living where the staff was so kind in helping to take care of Momma. Momma was well-known for her love of her family, her constant smile, how she found joy in even the smallest things, how she spread love everywhere she went, and she always showered everyone around her a million times with “I love you.”
Momma was preceded in death by the love of her life of almost 54 years, Onest Mathis (Daddy). They had identical twin daughters, Polly Mathis Van Duser and Paula Mathis Sacks who loved both of them dearly.
Momma enjoyed her career as a cake decorator where she brought joy to others by decorating beautiful birthday cakes and wedding cakes. Momma could make nearly anything with her hands. She often crocheted all day, making beautiful hats, blankets, and scarves that will be treasured forever. Momma and Daddy met at Highland Bakery in Atlanta, Georgia and dated for 13 years before getting married. Once married, they spent the rest of their lives together.
Momma was born in 1933 three-months pre-mature and weighed a pound and a half. She was a survivor from the beginning and her family called her Miracle Momma. In 2011, following a fall, Momma had to have emergency hip replacement surgery and did not come out of the anesthesia for a week. Her family was grateful for the gift of her life and treasured Momma for many more years.
Momma will be deeply missed by her beloved family. Her twin daughters, Polly and Paula; sons-in-law, Brad and Jonathan; her grandchildren, Sarah and Austin.
She was also preceded in death by her daughter from her first marriage, Lindy Casper and survived by granddaughter, Victoria; and four great-grandchildren.
