Washington's life dates are printed in black above her photo. Below the photo, information about the service is printed in blue ink. The service took place at Antioch Baptist Church and was officiated by Rev. M.C. Potter.
The left-side interior page has an obituary titled "Reflections of Her Life," which details Washington's early life, family, and her professional and religious activities. The right-side interior page details the "Order of Service" from the processional to the recessional.
