Ebonie loved the Lord and at an early age she gave her life to Christ. She was a frequent member of Friendship Baptist Church in Monroe, NC until she moved to Charlotte, NC. Every Friday Evening Ebonie was very engaged in a Prayer Ministry. Even driving home late from work she would still dial into the prayer line. Being the youngest one on the line the Lord had her there to encourage so many people regardless of their ages. Due to her illness, she worked various jobs that would accommodate her numerous Doctor appointments. God always gave her favor with her managers.
