Ann
Downing speaks often about her close relationship with
her family. Ms. Lillie, Ann's
mama, went to her heavenly home on Mother's Day, 2005. Ms.
Lillie spent time in the Calhoun Nursing
Facility in Calhoun, Mississippi prior to her Homegoing.In 2006 Ann and her family presented Mr. James Franklin, Calhoun County Services Administrator in Calhoun City, Mississippi with a combination dvd/vcr and a box of Gaither Homecoming Videos in memory of their mother, Lillie Sanders.
Ann's fANNtastics donated several hundred dollars to the "Ms. Lillie Project" to be used in various ways in nursing home facilities. Ann shared "we really wanted the first recipient of the project to be where Mama was. The staff at Calhoun Nursing Facility was just wonderful to her, we plan to do more there in the coming months."
Ann, her sister Lavern, her brother-in-law Jimmy and her niece Scarlett made the presentation during a vacation at their family farm in Calhoun County, Mississippi. Over the Thanksgiving Holiday in 2006, Ann and her family presented the Bruce Nursing Center in their hometown of Bruce, Mississippi with a dvd player and box of Gaither Homecoming Videos.
Ann and her family are so thrilled that the fANNtastics continue to respond to this project. The continued support allows Ann Downing Ministries' Miss Lillie Project the opportunity to touch more people's lives in these facilities with gospel music. This on-going project will reach out to more facilities to help this oft-forgotten population and honor those who provide care for them on a daily basis.
