Henrietta Gore

Henrietta Broadway Gore, the oldest member of the family, known as the Queen, the daughter of the late Edward and Edith Broadway, was born on January 10, 1899 in Rock Hall Kent County, Maryland. She has given her life to our Heavenly Father, after living more than a century, on May 21, 2004.Her grandparents, the late Mr. John and Mrs. Rebecca Simms raised Henrietta Gore. She received a third grade education in Rock Hall Kent County School. This didn’t interfere with her way of life or making a living for herself. Henrietta helped her grandparent’s work on the farm by husking corn, picking tomatoes and doing domestic work.In 1913 Henrietta moved to Baltimore City at the age of fourteen with her Aunt Elizabeth Johnson. While living here in Baltimore, she worked as a domestic worker until her retirement. In 1917 at the age eighteen she joined the Enoch Baptist Church where she was baptized and accepted Jesus Christ as her Personal Savior. She served as a member for twenty-three years. In 1919 Henrietta met and married the late Goldberg Gore. In 1940 Henrietta joined Ebenezer Baptist Church and was a member of the Senior Usher board for the women for fifty years. She also served on the Missionary Board and Aid Society for thirty years. She was awarded one of the Ebenezer best in 1984.In 1987 she left Ebenezer Baptist Church to join the Mt. Zion Hill Baptist Church. She continued to serve as an usher for four years after the church was relocated to the 4800 block of Harford Road. She was now retired, and was an honorary member from the Usher Board. She loved her church and the many friends she made through the years, members of Ebenezer Baptist Church and Mount Zion Hill Baptist Church. She loved to hear the preacher preach the gospel and the choirs sing those beautiful hymns. Her two favorite hymns are “Precious Lord Take My Hand” and “ What a Friend We Have in Jesus.” Her favorite scriptures are The 23rd Psalm and Saint John 14:1-6. Her motto is “With God all things are Possible.”Mrs. Henrietta Gore was a Godly devoted person, to love her is to love Jesus and God and to pray to God in the Name of Jesus Christ and to accept Jesus and God in every aspect of your life. Amen.She leaves to treasure her memory one niece, Ruby Webb, and many great-nieces, great-nephews and friends
