She was a well-loved, spirited woman that had an unwavering faith in God. Throughout her life, she maintained a sweet and simple demeanor that won the trust and hearts of countless others. She enjoyed cooking, sewing, evangelizing, reading her bible, singing, supporting and spending time with family and friends.
Aflean was a natural caretaker. She had a passion for serving others in her community. Aflean took classes at North East University and obtained her LPN license. She worked for Wilmot Medical Center for 13 years. Her passion for serving others led her to work in education.
