How good is God - - thank you Lord. To be in Missionary Liggins presence was to be with a beautifully saved young woman, strong in her determination to serve the Lord. Yulinda was born on May 8th of 1956 to the union of Idella Leslie and Jetha Demetrius Iron in the city of Detroit, Michigan. As a child, to her family, she was “Pookie.” In her early years she had the experience of living in Missouri, Michigan and California before the family decided to settle in the city of Flint, Michigan. Yulinda’s formal education was in the Saint Louis, Missouri Public School System as well as Flint Public Schools. Her education also included time spent at Baker College and Mott Community College. On November 4th, 1978 Yulinda was united in marriage to Otis C. Liggins, Jr. As a young lady Yulinda gave her life to the Lord. She was a charter member of Faith Gospel Temple Church of God in Christ where she served tirelessly in doing the Lord’s work. Missionary Liggins worked in several ministries of the church, a favorite was her work with the children. A licensed Missionary in the Church of God in Christ, Missionary Liggins was under the pastorate of Superintendent James E. Walker, Jr. and District Missionary Geraldine Anderson. Talented in many areas, Yulinda was a blessing to those whose lives she touched. One of her talents included a business called “Heavenly Baskets”, a boutique specializing in custom designed gift baskets. Yulinda was called from Labor to Reward on Sunday, August 17th, 2014. She was doing what she loved best - - serving and praising the Lord. So many precious memories she leaves with us. And to share in those memories is: a devoted husband of thirty-six years, Deacon Otis C. Liggins, Jr.; her sons, Otis C. (Cortney) Liggins III, James Demetrius Liggins and daughter, Lesley Shavaughn Elise Liggins; She also leaves seven grandchildren; two step- brothers; a step-sister; her church family; and a host of cousins and friends, including special friends, Nina, Myra, and Jackie. Missionary Liggins was preceded in death by: her daughter, Ciceley Simone Liggins –who passed away at birth; and her parents. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His Saints. Psalms 116:15
