Mrs. Pope lived a blessed life. She and her husband, Stinnett Pope, had four children.
Mrs. Pope received her early education in the Fayette County School System in Kentucky. She later studied at Kentucky State University. As a result of her love for people and the community in which she lived, Mrs. Pope participated in helping others who were less fortunate with their daily necessities of life. She served as a volunteer in many civic and social agencies. Also, because of her need to serve, Mrs. Pope joined the Eastern Star where she served as the Past Matron, and the Daughters of Isaiah.

As a result, she accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at the Main Street Baptist Church in Lexington, KY.
