Beulah Sneed Yarbrough gave birth to 10 children, but she was a mother to many more.
"My mother fostered 170 kids during her lifetime – and she had a profoundly positive influence on each and every one of them," said Aaron Sneed, Sr.
Miss Beulah, as she was known to friends and family, died two months ago at 102.
"We didn't get to celebrate Mother's Day with her in person this year, but we absolutely did so in spirit," her son said. "We all came together here at the church she loved to say 'Thank you.'"
