Willie Mae Pippin (1910-1978)

Willie Mae Pippin (May 6, 1910 - March 2, 1978) is my great-great grandmother.

Biography
Willie was born on May 6, 1910 to Asbery Loftis Pippin and Sina Armildred Vaughn.

Willie married Johnny Huston McCowan in about 1929. Willie had her first born child on October 17, 1930, but she died on the same day that she was born. Later she had 9 kids after 1932 and only 1 of those kids are dead.

When Johnny died, her 3 oldest boys, Oscar, James, and Paul cleared a parcel of land and built a little house with a tin roof by theirselves. The land was rented, and the home is still standing today, though the whole back porch has collapsed, the door has fallen off their hinges, most of the windows are busted open, trash, animal traces, and branches are inside the home, the whole left side of the house has fallen off, and the whole yard is overgrown due to not being taken care of. The home is in pretty bad shape from weathering from the last 50 years.

WIllie lived with her daughter Elsie for the last years of her life and died March 2, 1978.

Willie was buried on about March 4, 1978 in Moses Wilson Cemetery beside her husband.
