Mrs. Cherry Mae Grubbs
March 9, 1934 - July 9, 2021
Cherry Mae Grubbs, 87, of Plant City, Florida, born March 9, 1934 in Kieser, Arkansas, entered into eternal rest July 9, 2021. She was an ordained Reverend, Sunday School teacher, worship leader, and working in nursing homes. God and family were her everything. She was always teaching, encouraging, mentoring, or sometimes reprimanding us to make us better people. She prayed daily for her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and church family. When she turned fifty she decided to go into the work force and become a home health aid taking care of patients that were terminal. She enjoyed spending time getting to know the patients and sharing her faith at the end of their life. She would pick up kids and families and take them to church. She wanted everyone to have the opportunity to worship God. She was preceded in death by husband, Reverend James Grubbs; and son, Johnny Grubbs. She is survived by children, Shirley Ann Haupert, Travis James Grubbs, Mary Jane Murray, Jimmy Wayne Grubbs, Cherry Ann Hale, and Terri Lynn Overmiller; 13 grandchildren; 15 great-grandchildren; 17 great-great-grandchildren; and dogs, Lady and Rosie. A funeral service will be held Saturday, July 17, at 3:00 P.M. at Hopewell Funeral Home, 6005 South County Road 39, Plant City, where the family will receive friends beginning at 2:00 P.M.
