The power and tenaciousness of the Proverbs 31 woman was on display at the Branson Centennial Museum on Tuesday, Aug. 16, as local businesswoman and philanthropist Sherry Herschend gave a presentation titled “Memories of the Ozarks.”

Herschend told stories about her mother Fannabelle, who among other things delivered mail from Ike’s Post Office mentioned in the novel “The Shepherd of the Hills.” She said her mother was a perfect example of the Proverbs 31 woman, referring to the chapter in the Bible which describes a woman of noble character, who works hard, cares for her family, and provides for the needs of others around her.

“I’ve never known a woman who had more Proverbs 31 qualities than [my mother],” Herschend said.
