grandmother, Mrs. Lethia Wright, and godparents, Mrs. Ruth Roberson and the late Rev. Wilson C. Roberson. Dr. Mack was nourished with

graceful qualities, stern substance, and seasoned maturity that would embolden his spiritual formation, align his personal growth and
ultimately shape him into the minister he was destined to be! Dr. Ike Edwin Mack is married to the former Eloise Cliett of Byron, Georgia, and
they are the delightfully honored parents of one daughter, Brittany Chemere Mack.
