She accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior at an early age and was

Royalette was affectionately known as "Lette." Lette received her early
education in Baltimore City Public Schools . She graduated from Walbrook

Maryland Eastern Shore . She transferred to Towson State University where
she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Library Science. Upon her graduation

for 27 years. After retirement , she worked briefly at Coppin State University .
She then worked for the Maryland State Police until her health declined.

Lette had a strong work ethic. She held several part-time jobs in addition to
her full-time employment . It was at her stint at CES Security, Inc. where she
met the love of her life, Christopher. They were wed in July 1995. From that
union, Kristen Marie was born. Lette was a loving mother to Kristen. In fact,
love of family was her passion . Lette and her cousin , Wanda L. Williams
(Bunnie) were especially close - sisters of the heart.

She had a fearless spirit and was always willing to try new things. Lette was
determined to attend every social function she was invited to. Keeping up with
her was a constant challenge . Traveling , shopping, and dining out were some
of her favorite activities . She was an avid reader of romance novels and
enjoyed watching Hallmark Christmas movies. Even with the cancer diagno-

quality time with family and friends.
