Forrestine Newman, 73, passed away Saturday, August 27, 2022. She was a member of Stephen Temple C.P. C. and attended Orange Grove Center. Forrestine was and still is a precious child of God. She loved her church, people and ribs. Alice always kept Forrestine in church and going on outings. Years later we would meet someone from church every time we went somewhere. What a blessing!! She loved people and just general conversations. She loved her Bible and always wanted it in her hand with a pen no matter what. She is at peace now with her mother Alice Newman. I know the angels are singing in heaven because a saint has entered. She will be missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents; Bank Newman and Alice Lavette Newman.
Forrestine leaves to cherish her memories brother, Wallace Newman; sister in Christ, (GG) Gretchen Gurley; nephew, Denver Newman, all of Chattanooga; a host of cousins, other relatives and friends. Special acknowledgement and appreciation from the family for all the support, C J and Sharon Johnson, Harold Ragland, and Paul Middlebrooks.
