Born on May 24, 1926, she had lived in Jackson County for most of her life. After spending nine years in Dothan, Alabama, residing at Wesley Manor, she returned to Florida this past Christmas to reside at Panama City Health and Rehabilitation on so she could be closer to her family. Mrs. Register taught school briefly in Alford at a young age during World War II. She also worked in the office of the family's business, Register Meat Company in Cottondale, Florida. She then retired after 25 years of employment with Gilbert Peanut Mill in Cottondale. A faithful member of First Baptist Church of Cottondale for many years, she served as Church Clerk for most of her active years there. Known for her friendly manner, her caring nature, and her constant concern for others in the community, she was a good friend to many.
