Family, community remember South Memphis pastor By Joyce Peterson | December 15, 2020 at 10:32 PM CST - Updated December 15 at 10:34 PM
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WMC) - The death of a local pastor is being felt from the streets of South Memphis to the boardrooms of the cityâs power brokers. Pastor Donnell Cobbins, a casualty of COVID-19, leaves a lasting legacy behind.
Donnell and his younger brother Darrell grew up in humble beginnings in South Memphis. They got good grades, and their mother, an employee at The Peabody, got them into MUS, a prestigious private school in Memphis. They are a family full of strength and character, and a family now mending a broken heart.
