Obituary

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life." ~Proverbs 31:10-12 Mother Elizabeth "Lizzie" Smith Pou, the daughter of the late Mr. Walter and Mrs. Lillian Smith, was born February 16, 1930, in Berkeley County, South Carolina. On Sunday, September 22, 2013, God saw that his flower, Elizabeth, was ready to be picked from his beautiful garden, and she entered into eternal rest at her home 219 Pou Court, Moncks Corner, South Carolina. Elizabeth's Christian pilgrimage began at Greater St. James A.M.E Church, Jedburg Road, (Cooper Store Section), Summerville, South Carolina. After her marriage, Elizabeth became a member of Mitten Lane Holiness Church where she served on the Usher Board, Senior Choir, Kitchen Committee, and Mother Board. "It is arduous work to keep the Master's ambition in front. Keeping God's promise and working to claim the fulfillment of His will, I will serve the Master." Elizabeth was educated in the public schools of Berkeley County. She was united in Holy Matrimony to OB Pou, Sr. on March 20, 1950. This union was blessed with fourteen children. Preceding her into Glory: her husband, OB Pou Sr., one daughter Janice, and five sons: Henry Clay, Thomas, OB Pou Jr., Isaiah, and Jacob. Elizabeth leaves as a testament of her enduring legacy to continue the family assignment in the earth: her daughters: Annie Lee (Envie) Simmons, Hannah (Birdell) Starkes, Mary Pou, Lizzie Mae (Maurice) Fennick all of Moncks Corner, SC; her sons: Walter Pou (Brenda) of Virginia, Jetsine Pou (Emma), David Pou (Yvonne), Paul Pou (Yvette), Little John Pou (Tonya), all of Moncks Corner, SC and Peter Pou (Arlena) of Atlanta, GA; her siblings: Eliza Peace, York Smith, Mary Harleston, Julie Mazyck, Walter Smith and Rodella Simmons; four special grandchildren: Doris Dinkins, Shanara Pou, Tyler McCoy and Jada Pou; Forty-one (41) Grandchildren; Thirty-eight (38) Great Grandchildren: Twelve (12) Great, Great Grandchildren; and a host of nieces, nephews; cousins, and other relatives and friends.
