Ms. Eula Mae was born August 27, 1924 to parents, James F. Moseley and Mary Jane Catoe Moseley. She was given the gift of two marriages in her lifetime. The first was to the father of her seven boys, the late William R Steele and the second was to the late Lawson D. Mangum Sr.
She retired from Springs Cotton Mill as a fabric weaver and then followed her love of caring for children to Jo's Day Care before settling into permanent retirement with Lawson in her later years.
She was a member of White Springs Baptist Church and spent much time there before her health limited her from going. Steadfast faith and love for the Lord comforted her most in these last years as well as the knowledge that she would one day be in HIS mighty presence, joining the loved ones that went ahead of her.

Stepson, Rick Mangum (Theresa), as well as several grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was the last surviving sibling out of eleven brothers and sisters.
She was known for her southern cooking and hospitality. Always having a good old homemade biscuit, cornbread, or fatback on the dinner table for family members or neighbors that wanted to pull up a chair to share a meal or grab a bite was a must. In years past, she even spent time growing and canning her own vegetables ensuring she always had the key ingredients to a pot of homemade soup for anyone hungry for one of her many comfort food staples. A loving, soft spoken, kind, and christian woman that never said a harsh word about anyone and always greeted you with a beautiful smile and a warm hug is how she will be remembered. She loved her family dearly and will be missed tremendously by all who knew and loved her.
