Bessie Mae Medlock was born October 23, 1936, in Mingo County, West Virginia. Bessie loved family get-togethers, holidays , and cheering for her beloved Vikings. Bessie loved to laugh, she had a keen sense of humor. She loved Westerns, and for many years she was tuned in to her soap operas, most specifically Young and the Restless (Go Victor!). She enjoyed reading, completing crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, word finds, and she loved movies and music. Bessie also loved horse races, she never bet, but said she liked the muscle tone of the horses. She loved art, especially African Art and sculptures. Most of all she loved her family.
