“Mrs. Finch received a Bachelor of Science in Education from Mississippi College and a Masters Degree in Elementary Education. She went on to teach for a total of 38 years in various public and private schools. When she wasn’t teaching her kids at school she was assisting her husband Rev. Marcus Finch in completing his seminary dissertation, and raising their two wonderful children Melanie and Marc. She and Marcus went on many adventures together including mission trips to Honduras and Costa Rica, an Alaskan Cruise, and several road trips on the Harley. The delight of her life was any time spent with her 6 granddaughters whether she was cheering them on at their many activities or just chatting and laughing at the lake house.”
