Mother Eloise Robinson was the heartbeat of Friendship Baptist Church. For over sixty years, she graced the pews with her radiant smile and spirit-filled praise. As the oldest member of the Missionary Society, she organized countless outreach programs that fed the hungry and clothed the needy throughout Beaufort County. Her kitchen was always open, her prayers were always fervent, and her love was always unconditional. Mother Robinson raised seven children, all of whom credit her faith as the foundation of their lives.
