Sis. Annie Mae Lawson was born on November 21, 1934, to the Late Sis. Lillie Mae Thompson and the Late Bro. James Thompson.

She confessed her life to Christ at the age of sixteen and was baptized at the Greater Livingston Baptist Church in Flora, MS.

(Micheal) Harris of Jackson, MS; Henry Earl (Beverly) Lawson, of Edward, MS; Dr. Kathia Lawson-Polk of Jackson, MS; James Henry (Loretta) Lawson of Bolton, MS and Willie Lee (Chenese) Lawson of Orange Park, FL and one step daughter Henrietta Lawson- Johnson of Edward, MS; Four sister, Carrie Bell (Be) Smith of Ann Arbor, MI; Louise (CL) Lowe of Jackson, MS; Lucille (Joe) Cooper of Chicago, IL; and Corean Boulding of Natchez, MS; three brothers Mose (Linda) Thompson of Madison, MS; Rev. Willie L. Thompson and J. C. (Shirley) Simmons, both of Jackson, MS; sixteen grandchildren; twenty-two great grandchildren, three great great grandchildren, and host of nieces, nephews and other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by two brothers; the Late James Thompson, Jr. and the Late Clifton Thompson, two sisters; the Late Maggie Dell Tyler and the Late Mattie T. Beamon.

To the Loretta and the Lawson family, I send my deepest condolences during this time to you all. I come to know and love Sis. Lawson during my 9 years thus far, at New Hope (Hamilton Street). She was so wismatic, loving and Christian Mother of our church, before her inability to serve physically as she once did. I will miss her. A momento, that I will keep till it falls apart is, a lovely royal-bluish, scarf, she made for me and gave it to me to wear, on My first, New Hope Choir Day Musical! She was a fluent magnificent seamstress....thank you for my scarf .....I shall cherish a part of your craft for a l o n g time. May God bless comfort and keep you all, in Jesus name. AMEN. loving memories, from Sis. Mary Holden, New Hope MB Church Member🙏
