Reading a series of obituaries from a single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other, were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church together and engaged in "trade" or business. All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH. Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's obituaries. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M.

As much as Pat enjoyed her time at Head Start, her greatest role was as a mother to her only child. She considered herself blessed to be a mother to her son Chucky. When her health permitted, Pat volunteered at St. Peter and Paul's Church for two years. She felt joyfully close to the Lord and said that volunteering enhanced her spiritual life. People were drawn to Pat for her beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor. She treated all she met with compassion and love. Pat was known for her green thumb and her flower beds were spectacular. Pat also had a love for humming birds, wind chimes, crazy hats and wild earrings. The joy of Pat's life was her two remarkable grandsons, CJ and Hunter. She derived supreme happiness from being with her grandsons and loving son, Chucky. On any given warm day Pat would be on her porch swing sipping a Pepsi while holding hands with the love of her life. Their 46 year marriage was a remarkable love story. Chuck believed in the vows, "in sickness and in health". Pat benefited greatly by his utter devotion to her. Pat had the biggest and purest heart.

PROKOP Reverend Roger Lee
Retired Roman Catholic Priest of the Diocese of Lansing, Michigan, died at his
home in Anderson, SC, on Friday, May 22, 2009, following a long battle with
brain cancer. Father Roger was born on May 17, 1935 in Elmira, New York. The
second son and third child of Stephen and Jeanette (Pitts) Prokop, he graduated
from Hamilton College, Clinton, New York in 1957. He then continued his
education at the General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church in New
York City where he received a Master of Theology in 1960. He was ordained in
the Episcopal Church on June 4, 1960 and served as an Episcopal clergyman in
New York until 1968. In the mid-1960s he did Civil Rights Work in Mississippi
and Westchester County, New York. In 1968 he was admitted into a master's
program at Harvard with the unusual classification of "special
studies." His degree was granted in 1970 simultaneously by the Graduate
School of Arts and Science and the Graduate School of Education. From 1970 to
1976 he was on the faculty of a co-ed affiliate college of the University of
Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, teaching a variety of subjects related to religion,
psychology, sociology, and education. In 1976 he began a sabbatical year at The
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor that resulted in leaving his Canadian
position and completing a Ph.D. in 1984. His dissertation combined his many
interests; its title: "Literary Fiction for Sociology, Psychology and
Gerontology: The Human Perspective Revealed." He always described it as a
joy to write; it won several awards. During this period he also held a
half-time appointment at the U of M Institute of Gerontology and served as
rector of St. Clement Episcopal Church, an African-American Episcopal Church in
Inkster, Michigan. In 1986, after many years of prayer and reflection he left
the Episcopal Church and entered the Catholic Church. After a few months of
study at St. John's Provincial Seminary in Plymouth, Michigan, he was ordained
a Catholic priest on June 13, 1987. He served in the Diocese of Lansing,
Michigan until his retirement in 2005. He initially served as an associate at
St. Casimir Catholic Parish in Lansing, Michigan. In 1989 he became the pastor
of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish, Saline, Michigan. In 1993, he became pastor
of a large parish, St. Thomas the Apostle Catholic Church in Ann Arbor,
Michigan. In 2005 he retired and became the "first, ever" priest
associate of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Rock Hill, South Carolina. He
lived in a house near the Oratory and prayed, dined and socialized with the
Oratorians. As a retired priest, he served part-time in the Diocese of
Charleston, South Carolina serving parishes in York and Oconee Counties until
he was diagnosed with a brain tumor in May 2007. In York County he celebrated
weekday mass at one of the Oratory's five parishes, St. Anne Catholic Church,
and on the weekends he served as part of the Catholic ministry team at the
Parish of Saints Andrew, Paul, and Francis, Clemson, South Carolina. For the
past two years, Father Roger lived with dear friends, Drs. Lewie and Lisa
(Baker) Reece. They graciously provided a home and warm, loving care as he went
through brain cancer treatment. During that time he was able to fulfill a
lifelong dream of completing a novel he worked on for many years, "In the
Bliss of His Memory," currently in press. More about Father Roger's
journey with brain cancer can be found at www.frprokop.com. Reverend Prokop was
