Ernestine B. Furlow, age 100, of 211 North Fourth Street, Vienna, died Wednesday, January 16, 2019, at Crisp Regional Hospital in Cordele.
Born in Seville, she was the daughter of the late Samuel Braswell and Minnie Watson Braswell. Mrs. Furlow was a faithful member of Vienna First Baptist Church for many years where she served as Outreach Director.
