As a young adult, Mamie moved to Chicago, IL. There she was employed as a waitress for a time. She later started her own house Cleaning service which continued until she returned to Tennessee.

Mamie was a faithful member of True Way Apostolic Faith Church under the leadership of Pastor Neely Dotson while living in Chicago.
In 1992, Mamie relocated to Tennessee and reunited with the church of her youth, Zion Temple #1, under the leadership of Elder Lazarus Lake. She served faithfully in the choir, the mother’s auxiliary, and any area that needed help. Mamie enjoyed sewing, cooking, and tending her flowers. She supplied child care services for working mothers who were in need of assistance, this she enjoyed immensely.
