The family thank you for your prayers and understanding during this difficult time. You are welcome to leave your condolences on our Tribute Wall. LIFE REFLECTIONS OF MOTHER ROSA LEE WIGFALL God saw the road was rough. The hills were hard to climb. He gently closed her eyes and whispered "Peace be still" The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

On December 1, 1933, James and Virginia Bryant Walker Owens welcomed their  second child whom they named, Rosa Lee Owens. On February 27, 2022 Rosa Lee went home to join all of her family who went on before her so they could walk around heaven together.

Rosa Lee was raised in a Christian home. At an early age she accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior at Mount Carmel AME Church located in the Macbeth section of Moncks Corner, South Carolina.

Rosa Lee received her education in the Berkeley County School System Located in Moncks Corner, South Carolina. After graduating from high school she then relocated to Brooklyn, New York where she worked for a while. A short time in her life Rosa Lee realized that New York was not for her, which led her to return back home to South Carolina.

On May 1,1954 she married the love of her life, SGT. Johnny C. Wigfall. To this union they were blessed with seven children, five girls: Gloria, Maxine, Stephanie, Emlyn and Jean Wigfall and two boys, Tracy and Ronald Wigfall.

As years went by, being a mother of seven and a military wife, she took on added responsibilities while her husband was away in the Army. Rosa Lee was a great Wife, Mother, Aunt, Sister and Friend to all who knew her.

Rosa Lee was a good home maker. She loved to cook, knit and crochet, but her main hobby was fishing. If you could not find Rosa Lee at home just follow the foot tracks down to the fishing area and there she sat. Rosa Lee was also employed by Georgia Pacific for several years. Even though Rosa Lee had her share of ups and downs she did not complain.

Short time later Rosa Lee lost four of her seven children: Gloria, Jean, Maxine, and Stephanie Wigfall, who went home to be with the lord, But she never gave up through the trying times. Rosa Lee helped raise her grandchildren, one whom she raised as her own: SGT. Donnell Johnson. As time went on she lost the love of her life, her husband, SGT. Johnny Wigfall.

Rosa Lee was a quiet person who loved her lord in her own way. No one would ever know she was in church until you saw her, some of her children, and grandchildren sitting on the seventh row on the right side of the congregation.

On Sunday evening February 27, 2022  her daughter, Emlyn walked out of her bedroom, when she turned around, her grandson said to her "She is Gone" with a peaceful look on her face. You can imagine Rosa Lee saying these words ``If anyone asked you where I've Gone, Tell them I've gone to be my Lord".

Obituary Preview: We regret to announce the passing of Cynthia Liavett Vance, 58, of Moncks Corner, SC who entered into eternal rest on Monday, February 7, 2022 at 7:13 AM at Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital in Summerville, SC.  She was the loving wife of Gregory Vance: the loving mother of Kevin Singleton, Gregory Singleton, Marcus Singleton, Starr Singleton, Israel Vance, Brandon Vance, Peaches (Tawanna) Middleton, Roger (Lisa) Stephens, Micheal Joseph and Noah Joseph; she was the loving sister of; Lorraine Wilson, Dorothy Jones, Connie (Calvin) Myers, Charlene (Leroy) Simmons and Joseph (Shelia) Mitchell. LIFE REFLECTIONS OF CYNTHIA VANCE “I will lift up my eyes to the hills from whence comes my help. My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

Mrs. Cynthia Liavett Singleton-Vance, the daughter of the late Alex Singleton, Jr.; and Charlotte Singleton-Mitchell was born on August 12, 1963 in Cross, South Carolina. In the early morning of Sunday February 7, 2022 she heard the voice of her heavenly Father saying “you have labored enough, now its time to enter into eternal rest”.

Cynthia, affectionately known as “Vet” was educated in Berkeley County schools and graduated from Cross High School in 1981.

At an early age Cynthia began attending Jerusalem United Methodist Church and eventually West Chapel Holiness Church where she accepted the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and she was committed to Christ ever since. She became a member of the West Chapel Holiness Church where she beautifully held her own in the soprano section. Cynthia moved to Pineville South Carolina and eventually became a member of St. Phillip Baptist Church. Cynthia had a strong passion for singing which led her being a faithful member of the original Voices of Cross, West Chapel Holiness Choir and The Dingle Ensemble. She also loved cooking and served as the Chairperson of the Kitchen Committee at St. Phillip Baptist Church along with various other auxiliaries in the church.

Cynthia was employed with DuPont-Dak Americas Cooper River Plant as a Security Officer for many years and served faithfully until her health began to decline.

Cynthia was free-spirited and always left a positive impression on whoever would allow it. Her love and compassion was definitely contagious. She was also referred to as “Mom” by many because of her unconditional love. Some would also refer to her as a taxi driver because she was always willing to provide transportation to those in need. Cynthia was devoted to caring for her family and she often placed others’ needs before her own.

Sa'Myra Emani McBride - January 06, 2018 - February 03, 2022

Departed: 02/03/2022 (Moncks Corner)

Obituary Preview: "Yes Jesus Loves Me, for the bible tells me so"  Princess Sa'Myra Emani McBride, 4, of Moncks Corner, SC went to sleep in the arms of the Lord on Thursday, February 3, 2022. Sa'Myra was the loving daughter and Princess to her parents Arthur D. McBride & Alma D. McMillian; she was the loving sister of Harmony A. McBride & the forever loving Grand-daughter of Tonja Reid, Michelle Johnson Juanita McMillian & Arthur L. (Taneisha) McBride. Sa'Myra & Shanya's Story But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.           Matthew 19:14

Sa’Myra Emani McBride was born on January 6, 2018 at Roper Hospital, Downtown Charleston, SC and Shanya Noelle McBride was born on December 23, 2019 at Roper St. Francis Berkeley Hospital, Summerville, SC to Arthur Deonte’ McBride and Alma D. McMillan of Moncks Corner, SC.

Sa’Myra and Shanya were two beautiful souls whom were compassionate, inquisitive and filled with lots of love for everyone and each other. Sa’Myra took on the role and responsibility as the older protective sister to her siblings Shanya and Harmony. She loved them so very much. If Shanya was sad, Sa’Myra would hug her while patting her on her back with a reassuring soft spoken, “It’s okay Shanya”. When her baby sister Harmony took her first steps, Sa’Myra was so excited that she sprang into action encouraging and teaching Harmony how to walk. Everything Sa’Myra learned, she shared with her sisters.

Sa’Myra enjoyed coloring, painting, being read to, riding her bike, driving her princess car, bubbles, horses, unicorns, being jokey, and her two dogs (Boo Boo & Bry Bry). She also liked watching her favorite TV shows: Paw Patrol, PJ Masks, Pepa Pig, Miniforce Super Dino Power, Blippi and Clifford the Big Red-dog. Her favorite game was “AMIMALS”. You’d have to make the sound of whatever AMIMAL she named. She recently gained a fascination for dinosaurs. Her favorites were: the T-Rex, stegosaurus and the velociraptor. Watching her learn was truly amazing. She was also quite inquisitive. She loved asking questions and whatever the response, she would ask you “Why?” And after each response, she’d ask, but “why”? This would continue until you ran out of answers. Lastly, she loved being humorous and making us laugh. Her laugh, smile and humor was most infectious.

Shanya absolutely loved both her sisters; however, she mimicked her big sister Sa’Myra or “Ra Ra” as she affectionately called her. Shanya loved playing with her dolls, watching Cocomelon and Simon and learning from Sa’Myra. She was also in the “No” phase. She loved saying No to everything. So Sa’Myra nicknamed Shanya as “No”.

Sa’Myra and Shanya shared their lives together. There was no separating them. They’ll forever reside in our hearts. Until we meet again—Rest on sweet angels.

They were preceded in death by: Arthur J. McBride, James (Ella Rae) Reid, Moses (Jannie Mae) Nowlin, Charles E. Smedley, Dakiesha Johnson, Mathis McMillan and Gregory Marshall.

Sa’Mrya and Shanya leaves to cherish their precious memories their parents, Arthur Deonte’ McBride and Alma Dionne McMillan of Moncks Corner, SC; sister, Harmony Aniylah McBride of Moncks Corner, SC; mater- nal grandparents, Juanita McMillan of Moncks Corner, SC and Michelle Johnson of NY; paternal grandparents, Tonja R.

Brady L. Parker - June 23, 1941 - January 20, 2022

Departed: 01/20/2022 (Moncks Corner)

Obituary Preview: We regret to announce the passing of Retired Veteran Major Brady L. Parker, 80, of Moncks Corner, SC who entered into eternal rest on Thursday, January 20, 2022 at 2:30 AM at the Summerville Community Hospice House in Summerville, SC. Major Brady was the loving father of Elizabeth Perry of Moncks Corner, SC. LIFE REFELCTIONS OF BRADY L. LEWIS

Brady Lewis Parker said good bye to this world early Thursday morning on January 20, 2022, at 80 years old. He is preceded in death by his father; Perry Milton Parker (former Grand Master of the Texas Masonic Lodge); mother, Amelia E. Parker (née Lewis); sister, Nell Parker (married names Richard, Harshman, and Ward); half-sister, Dorothy Worl (formerly Theriot); and nephews Richard Johnson.

He is survived by his daughter, Elizabeth Perry Parker Friese, and granddaughter Lily Weh-la Marie Friese, both of Moncks Corner; grandson Nickolaus Parker Friese,  granddaughter Ellie Catherine Friese,and granddaughter in heart Anne Sophia Friese, all of Lawrenceville,GA; and nephews James Brady (Brad) Richard & his husband Tim Watson, of New Orleans, LA,Kenneth Byrd & his long time partner Jo Wize of Edmond,OK and Lee Theriot, of Weatherford,TX; and brother-in-law Bill Worl, of Georgetown, TX.

A proud native Texan, he was raised in Waco and Port Arthur. A proud Major of the United States Marine Corps, he served two tours of duty in Vietnam and fully retired from the service in 1986. For some years after his service, he lived in southern California, most notably in Laguna Beach, which he loved. A man of many trades, he had many residences. In his later years, he returned to Waco (where he is sorely missed by his dear friends, Don & Lynn Gallaspy and  Robbie Jones). Declining health led him to move to South Carolina to live with his daughter not long after the death of his sister, Nell. All his life, Brady Parker held closely to family and friends, and his extraordinary memory could call up remarkably vivid and colorful details. His interests and passions were wide-ranging—languages, history, cooking, Native American lore (particularly that of the Comanches, with whom he identified), and the Dallas Cowboys. He was a natural and gifted storyteller, and he loved to tell a good, long joke. A week before he died, he ended his last phone call with his nephew Brad (who was coming to visit the day before he passed), “Well, I’m outta here!” Interment: Beaufort National Cemetery

Services will be live streamed on our Facebook page.

You are welcome to express your condolences on our Tribute Wall.
