GOD’S GARDEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL
God looked around the garden, And found an empty space.
He looked down upon the earth, And saw your tired face.
He put His arms around you, And lifted you to rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful, For He only takes the best.
He knew that you were weary And He knew you were in pain,
He knew that you would never be well on earth again. He saw the roads were getting rough,
The hills were hard to climb. So, He closed your weary eyelids,
And whispered peace be thine.

Obituary Order of Service
Tracy Ann Littlejohn, age 55, went home to be with the Lord on July 30, 2020. Tracy was born to Frederick and
Paula Littlejohn on December 30, 1964. Tracy was the second eldest and only daughter out of four children. Tracy
is preceded in death by her father, Frederick Littlejohn Sr.; maternal grandparents, Theodore Johnson; Florence and
Frank Banner; paternal grandparents, Nesbitt and Minnie Pearl Littlejohn; stepbrother, Tony Rivers. Tracy leaves to cherish her memories, her only precious daughter, Paula
Tierra Littlejohn; her only loving son, Frank Littlejohn; her loyal mother, Paula Ann Littlejohn-Young; her protective
brothers, Frederick (CeeCee) Littlejohn Jr., Nesbitt (Ro) Littlejohn; Frank Littlejohn; Charles Adrian(Claudia) Burnett; loving sisters, Dreconda Easley and stepsister,
Vicky Rivers; stepmother, Celestine Littlejohn; granddaughters, Jacqueline and Jennifer; special and
devoted cousins, Tonya Lane and Carla Dawkins; lifelong family friends, the Woodruffs; close special friend, J-Lo Vinson, many nieces, nephews, cousins, and close
relationship for over forty years with Rodney Cowan.
Tracy was a faithful and dedicated member of Temple of Grace Church and a longtime member of First Church of God. Tracy worked at Rosemont Center for many years
until it went out of business. She went on to work at U.M.C.H. for behavioral children then on to a group home
for young teenaged girls with babies. Tracy loved working with children and she was good at it. Tracy never met a stranger and was always willing to open her home to her
family or friends who needed a place to live. Everyone was family to her even if she just met you. Tracy loved the Lord
and loved bible study, reading scriptures and listening to gospel music. Tracy loved her family more than life itself and our hearts will forever have a piece missing, but we
know she will forever be in our spirits and looking down on us. We are thankful to the Lord for ending all of her pain
and suffering and giving Tracy her wings of an Angel. The world has truly lost a special gem!
