She graduated from Temple University, with degree in business management. From 1963 through 1993 she was employed at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. She was the first woman and lady of color to receive a supervisory position at the Port Authority. Her final years started with the building of the World Trade Centers and ended in 1993. Her job had offered her the pleasure to travel to seventeen different countries, which included China.
Her and her husband also traveled to 44 of the 50 states
here, including Alaska. Leaving behind is her great love
for her Pastor Steve McCartt, his wife Amy and their
children. Missing will be her endearing love of
fellowship with her many Sisters and Brothers in the
Lord throughout Florence and vicinity, especially at
Family Worship Center at 3215 Cashua Dr., Florence, S.C.
