Ernestine "Ernie" McGill

Ernestine “Ernie” McGill, 95, went home to be with the Lord on January 13, 2019. She was born February 3, 1923 in Blairsville, Georgia to the late Manuel and Irene McClure. She graduated from Garfield High School in 1941 and attended the University of Akron and Hammel College.

She was the last surviving charter member of the Akron Baptist Temple where she loved volunteering her services with the Akron Baptist Temple staff, sang in the choir, and taught Sunday School. She enjoyed playing “Hand & Foot” with many good friends and had great neighbors who kept an eye on her. Ernestine loved her family, home and yard, and her dogs, Stormie, Chelsie, and GiGi.

Ernestine was preceded in death by her husband of 41 years, Raymond C. McGill; and brother, Douglas (Bereniece) McClure.

I am home in Heaven, dear ones;

Oh, so happy and so bright!

There is a perfect joy and beauty

In the everlasting light.

All the pain and grief are over,

Every restless tossing passed;

I am now at peace forever,

Safely home in Heaven at last.

There is work still waiting for you,

So you must not idly stand;

Do it now, while life remaineth--

You shall rest in God’s own land.

When that work is all completed,

He will gently call you Home;

Oh, the rapture of that meeting

Oh, the joy to see you come!

Love, Mother
