Lenora (Sweet Pea) Lanette Fair

Ms. Lenora Lanette Fair was born on September 29th, 1962, to the parentage of Rev. Jimmy Fair and Frankie McGraw Fair in Shelby County, Alabama.

Lenora was affectionately known as “Sweet Pea” by her family and close friends, accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at an early age and united with Coosa Valley Missionary Baptist Church, Vincent, Alabama.  She received her formal education in the Shelby County School System and became a 1980 graduate of Vincent High School, Vincent, Alabama.  Later in life, “Sweet Pea” relocated to Gadsden, Alabama, and worshiped and united with Antioch Baptist Church, under the leadership of Pastor Larry Weathers.  “Sweet Pea” loved fellowshipping with her church family and was always willing to lend a helping hand.  She found joy in preparing food for her fellow church members and loved ones.

Along Sweet Pea’s life’s journey she enjoyed outings with her classmates.  She was very outspoken, and had a kind, loving spirit.  During sport seasons you could often hear her cheering for her grandchildren, from the stands.  She loved supporting her grandchildren.  She enjoyed traveling on family vacations, spending holidays with loved ones and cooking.
