She graduated from Flint Central High School, class of 1971. Following high school, she worked a short period at Chateau Gardens Nursing Home. She left there after accepting a position with General Motors. During that time came the births of her beloved sons Dennis Relerford Jr. and Jason Lamar Relerford. The immediate bond and love story of Eld. Jeryl “Honey” and Sue “Sister” Montgomery was sparked during a prayer service at Holy Ghost Church of God in Christ. They were joined in marriage on August 21, 1982. The legacy of their union commenced with the birth of their nine children. Mrs. Montgomery was a masterful wife, mother, and homemaker. Her pride and joy were the care and wellbeing of her family. She enjoyed all things pertaining to her children, from cooking three meals every day, doing hair, reorganizing her home, as well as being a consistent volunteer in their schools. She led bake sales, chaperoned trips, attended all their band concerts, school rallies, and spearheaded community drives. After much prayer and fasting the family joined Bountiful Love Ministries in December of 1999. The Montgomery’s served in ministry there where Mother Montgomery contributed as a licensed missionary, serving with the women’s ministry, helping to orchestrate church dinners, picnics, rummage sales and beautifying events with her lovely floral arrangements. Though soft-spoken, Mother Montgomery was a pillar of her community. Through the years she played an intricate role in the lives of her children, their friends, and many others by providing godly counsel, nurturing, guidance, and love.
