Evangelist Adrienne Sharlene Medford

Mrs. Adrienne Sharlene Medford, affectionately known as “Lady A”, was born on August 7, 1952, in Wilmington, DE to the late Verdene Luther and late Russell Woods. She returned to God peacefully on September 10, 2025, surrounded by her loving son. She received her education through the Wilmington Public School System. 

She dedicated over 16 years of her life to working in the child care field, where her nurturing spirit truly thrived. As the proud owner of Little Comfort Care, she provided a safe, loving, and faith-filled environment for countless children. Her daycare was more than a business, it was a ministry, and a reflection of her belief in the value of every child and the importance of early love and learning.Lady A leaves behind a legacy of love, faith, and generosity. She was a woman of deep devotion: to her family, to her church, and to the kitchen where she expressed her love through every meal she prepared. 

Known for her warm heart and comforting dishes, Lady A believed that good food brought people together. Her home was always open, and her table was always full not just of food, but of laughter, prayer, and connection.Lady A loved the Lord deeply, a relationship that began in her early childhood. She first worshipped at Scott’s AME Church, where her spiritual foundation was laid. As her walk with Christ grew stronger, she later became a faithful member of New Destiny Fellowship (GTB), where she served passionately. 

Lady A’s, ministry touched countless lives. Whether she was fasting, teaching Bible study, or simply immersed in worship, Lady A lived a life fully committed to the Word. Known for her unique way of connecting with God, she would often play the same worship song repeatedly for months, letting the lyrics saturate her spirit and space with praise. Her dedication was unwavering, and her love for God was infectious.
