Mildred Mariette Abercrombie

Born on March 26, 1929 in Sunset, SC, she graduated from Six Mile High School. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, she retired from Schlumberger in Oconee County.

She is survived by her husband of 68 years, William Morris Abercrombie, of Six Mile. She leaves behind two sons, Dr. Stoney Abercrombie (Donna) of Anderson and Jeffrey Abercrombie of Six Mile. She has five grandchildren Terri (Mike) Teramano, Jonathan (Tiffany) Abercrombie, Kristina Abercrombie, Joshua (Sarah) Abercrombie, and Whitney (Isaac) Moore and four great grandchildren (Riley, Jackson, Anna and Ethan). The last of 14 children, she is survived by multiple nieces, nephews, and beloved family members and friends.

Her Christian faith, monumentally important to her, directed her daily activities. She was an active member of Gap Hill Church of God since 1950 and had a 50 year perfect Sunday attendance (1960-2010). Involved in multiple church ministries as a children's teacher, Sunday School secretary, and nursing home ministry director, she never met a stranger and would easily share about her family and her faith. She received a plaque for Extraordinary Dedication given by Volunteers in Medical Missions in 1997.

The memorial service will be at Gap Hill Church of God at 3 PM on Sunday, January 3, 2016 officiated by Bishops Stoney Abercrombie, MD, Roger Stephens and Tony Edwards.

Family will receive friends at the church from 1:30 to 2:45 PM prior to the service.

Burial will be a private family event in Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Pickens.

Family will be at their individual homes.
