Mother Annie Lee Wise Driver, for so many in the Read St. & throughout the Elmwood Ave. communities, was the voice of reason & authority for the people of God.
For when she spoke. so often on WOIC radio, Morning Gospel Hour, she spoke with a fervent &
believing spirit that caught the listening ear, from adults to little children.
She was indeed an “anointed voice” from God the Father to all of us.
She is now resting in the Joy of Jesus after more than a century of toiling on this earthly sojourn! To God be the Glory!
A beautiful soul got her wings. You was a sweet and loving lady I used to live near you on the same street played with your grandchildren made sure I behave if not you will let my grandma know. Rest In Peace you are now in the Lord care.
My sincere condolences to family and friends, May God give you HIS peace, May God gives you strength, peace, and his love in your time of sorrow. WOW!! 108 GOD blessed her with a long, long life. She is with GOD now in HEAVEN with other family members and friends in her huge house and gold streets, walking side by side with JESUS. May she rest in heaven.
Take your rest Cousin Annie Lee! Take your rest! To be absent in the body is to be present with our Lord. May God grant comfort to the family, friends and her love ones.
My sincere condolences to you and your family. Asking God to strengthen you and wrap his loving arms around you.
I remember Mother Driver on the radio station on Saturday mornings. She was such an inspiration to me.

Mother Driver was a voice of inspiration, and we enjoyed listening to her during the WOIC Radio Gospel Show. She didn’t mind expressing her love for Our GOD. I know she is smiling over in Glory.

Read Street was my fist home away from home. Ms. Annie Lee helped my mom out tremendously when I was a kid. She walked me home from school, fed me, and cared for me. I met my forever sisters there, Porscha, Tondalaya and Tosha. I will never forget her, forever in my heart. I love you Ms. Annie Lee. May you find rest and peace on your new journey…. To this day, I still eat warm toasted peanut butter sandwiches cut just the way she sliced them over 35 years ago.
To God be the glory for all his wonders! Bless God for Ms. Driver having been a great influence in to many lives through her community and the gospel of His holy spirit. May her family is blessed to have strength to endure this time of bereavement. Peace and blessings of love is my prayer for this family. 🙏🏾
