When Mary Hazel saw in her own King James Version Bible at Psalm 83:18 that God has a name, and His name is Jehovah, she was excited, and had to tell everybody she knew. This she did faithfully until her death, ever since she was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witness on June 19, 1987.

 Mary Goods was known for her fine voice, and all who heard her sing felt that they had been bestowed with a precious gift.
