Mable Asberry was born in Sand Bottom Community, Oklahoma on April 30, 1934 to Rebecca and Fill Moore. Mable was the sixth of eight children, (youngest girl), born to this union.
Mable accepted Christ at the tender age of thirteen and was baptized at Oakdale Baptist Church in Beggs, Oklahoma.
Mable attended school at Wheatley High School in Beggs, Oklahoma. After finishing school, Mable moved to Arizona where she met and married Drucell Asberry Sr. in 1953, and to this union three children were born.
Upon relocating to Oklahoma, Mable joined Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. There she served on the Usher board, in the Choir, and for years as the president of Mission #1 and as their fearless leader, she lead the women to many victories over the men.
Mable knew no strangers. She opened her heart, her home and especially her kitchen to any and everybody who wanted to fellowship and enjoy a good meal in a family environment. She sprinkled her food with love, as that was her secret ingredient. And when you left, she adorned you with a garment of Prayer.
Anyone who knew Mable, knows that after God ,who was her first love, Mable loved her family and was affectionately called "Grandma" and "MiMi" by all. And was also Blessed to witness five generations of her seed.
