Mrs. Montgomery, 59, went to be with the lord on October 21, 2013 at her residence surrounded by her family. Mrs. Montgomery was born January 30, 1954 in Warsaw, New York. She was the daughter of William Joseph Hooper and Marie Agnes Scrubis.

Mrs. Montgomery went to heaven peacefully surrounded by her family. Even during her sickness she was always encouraging to others. She had a strong faith in Jesus that never wavered even in the last part of her time here on earth. She was a Sunday school teacher for over 20 years and loved teaching “her babies.” She always had a smile and a laugh. She will be greatly missed by her family here on earth, but knowing she is enjoying herself in heaven makes it a little better. She was a member of New Life Apostolic Church.

She was preceded by her parents; her husband, Gordon Markette Montgomery and one sister, Elaine Edwards.
