Jessie McDonald McDougald

A precious one from us is gone, a voice we loved is still. A place is vacant in our hearts that never can be filled. Jessie McDonald McDougald, 70, the 4th daughter of the late Dan and Sally McDonald was born September 25, 1944 in Darlington, South Carolina. She was called home through the Gates of Heaven September 6, 2015. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 15 years, Alvin McDougald, three brothers, David, James and Dan McDonald, Jr., one sister, Lillian Wilds, and a grandson, Matthew Russell. Jessie had a passion for her family and gave the love, time, and energy to each of them. She loved to do three major things, cook all the time, gardening (flowers and vegetables) and her number one favorite was to go on fishing trips with her husband. Jessie also loved the holiday season, especially Christmas where she would decorate her entire house and yard. The decorations would be twinkling so bright they could guide a plane in the sky. She was the light of her family, Jessie was an outstanding example of a very giving human being who always somehow put others before herself. Our Jessie was a true reflection of God’s love! Her life was touched by God and she in turn touched others. Jessie will always be remembered as a kind and loving mother. Jessie leaves with her family the strength to face all trials set before them; all the love to carry on another generation and great memories of the true love of a mother. Cherishing her fond memories are four caring daughters, Lonzenia Coward, Rosezina Coward, Demeatrice McDonald and Rachel Henderson (Otis); two sons, Maurice McDonald and Solomon McDonald (Diana White-McDonald); three sisters, Fula Coward, Lula Cooper, and Elizabeth Conyers (Leroy); brother-in-law, James McDouglad (Joyce); sister-in-law, Maelosie McDonald; twenty grandchildren, Larrese Coward, Angel Powell, Joseph Coward, Kimberly Coward, Dominique Coward, Rufus Coward, Danielle Coward, Tameka McDonald, Jameka McDonald, Erika Edmonds, Ryan Edmons, Ramone McDonald, Chris Moore, Danielle Brice, Lewis McDonald, Mario Moore, Imani Jackson, Marloe McDonald, Cierra Jenkins, and Cluverius “CJ” Jenkins; and nineteen great-grandchildren, and a host of other relatives and friends.
