Whereas, a woman of great faith, Mrs. Griffin was a lifelong, devoted member of First Baptist Church in Dillon where she served in a multitude of capacities including church clerk, Sunday school teacher, training union leader, and classification secretary. She also served on numerous committees, including chairing the committees for the 100th, 110th, and 115th anniversaries of the church. She was especially proud of helping to establish the church history room while serving as chairman of the church history committee; and
