Macil was a longtime member of Kernersville Pentecostal Holiness Church.

She was a life long homemaker who had a special love of cooking, sewing and crafts. She also loved vegetable gardening and canning. She enjoyed planting flowers bulbs. She never failed to impress her daughter that she knew the name of every tree and berry bush during their walks through the woods in West Virginia in her younger years, or that we could actually grow our own Loofah sponges in Gourds.

The Family would like to give a very grateful, heartfelt "Thank You" to Carolyn Davis who went above and beyond in assistance in her care during the past 4 years.
