Mother Clorene Trawick Culver was born October 12, 1923 in Newville, Alabama, the sixth of eleven children born to the late Deacon Artis and Sister Lillie Mitchell Trawick. Mother Culver accepted Christ as her personal Lord and Savior at an early age. Mother Culver graduated from Henry County Training School in 1943, and she united in holy matrimony with Clarence Culver in 1944. The Culvers were blessed with six children, and the family moved while Mr. Culver served in the Army and on several military bases in federal civil service. Upon his transfer to Patrick Air Force Base in 1959, the family moved to Melbourne, Florida and later settled in Palm Bay. Mother Culver worked in food services for the Brevard County School District, serving as a baker at Stone High School and Palm Bay Elementary, where she retired in 1985.

As the Church Mother for the Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church, Mother Culver prepared the baptismal for new members, the preparations for the Lord’s Supper with the Deaconess and the Mother’s Board, and provided spiritual counseling to new members, especially young women. Her roles included serving with the Mission Circles, the Health and Nursing ministry, and as a Sunday school teacher (Class #10). Mother Culver was known for her holiday dressing and baking. She loved to garden and tend to the plants and flowers on her front porch. She was a member of the Order of Eastern Star, Lookwell Chapter No. 219, Newville, Alabama.

She leaves to cherish her memory: sons, Clarence Deleon (Ella) Culver, Phillip Lovard Culver, and James Carl Culver; one brother, Lafayette Trawick; one sister, Evangelist Dr. Barbara Pouchie; nine grandchildren, Clarence (Tasha) Greene, Terrence (Anetra) Culver, Julia Marie Culver, Edward Culver, Kimberly Culver, Yvette (Bobby) DuBose, Ambi Cochran, Raven Cochran, and Alexis (Morten) Nielsen; eight great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren; and several beloved nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives, church family members, and friends.

On September 3, Mother Culver answered the call from Heaven to meet our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We thank God for a life so well-lived.

To The Culver Family,
What a blessing it was to know and love Deacon Clarence and Mother Clorene Culver! We celebrated with them when they renewed their Golden Anniversary vows and mourned with the family when loved ones transitioned to glory. Mother Clorene will always be the true example of the Proverbs 31 Godly Woman. We are all the richer for having shared this space of grace with her.

Blessed Be the Ties That Bind,
