I met Mrs. Roddy when I joined the ICUA. I must say she was a dedicated usher. She always stressed, "The Right Way." She will be missed. Rest in Heaven Sister Roddy.

Auntie....I’m going to miss you. The way you were happy to hear or see me then you would get on me in a loving way. Going to miss that beautiful smile that made us all feel like you were a part of us and we can come to you about anything and it will stay right there. I felt so special when you placed my son’s picture on your Facebook page and I know it was because he took the picture right after church and we all know that you wanted us to have a relationship with God. Rest well beautiful queen! You left an indelible impression in our hearts Love you....Your Nefew Donald❤️❤️❤️❤️

I learned from Mama Roddy what complete and total dedication was. Live Carrie's a demonstration and she was certainly the uptime of it! She was a persistent soldier for Christ. I will never forget her addictive personality and beautiful smile. My endless love goes out to the family forever. God bless.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Latif Hughes left a message on April 2, 2020:
I was floored by this! The last time I seen Sister Roddy was the last time I was in Church on Sunday March 15th, 2020. Sister Roddy was getting on me after Church about the family bus trip and if I was going or not. So I apologized for not getting back to her right away because it was going to be a last minute decision for me depending on my work schedule. Me, Sister Roddy and her sister Myna were all talking about being glad, we were able to come to Church despite all the Chaos of the Covid-19/Corona Virus pandemic. Sister Roddy was the type of person that took her responsibilities very seriously and got things done. Me and her son Luther had been good friends for a long time before I had a relationship with Sister Roddy. Fellowship brought us all together and it's been very special to have such a good relationship with the Roddy Family. I will miss Sister Roddy dearly and she has been a been a faithful servant of God's Kingdom and I know all the Angels in Heaven are singing praises unto God that another one of God's saints has come home. I send my condolences out to the family and prayers that you are encouraged in this difficult time. We love you Latif Hughes and Family.

Stopping by to offer my sincere condolences on your loss. I will always have a special spot for Ozie in my heart. We worked together at the Post Office. I left in 1997, but will never forget her. My fondest memory is how she always invited me to give up cigarettes for Lent each year. I finally did in 1986 and haven't smoked since! I'll always be thankful to Ozie for that. Another memory is how she always invited me to come to church. I never did come, but one summer she invited me to a celebration of famous black women in someone's yard. We had tables decorated with all different colors and the food at each table matched the color of the table. She assigned me a famous woman to tell the group about. It was a great time! Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. May God comfort and keep you and may your memories sustain you.⚘
