Revelation 14:13 
Sister Lucille McLoyd Patterson, daughter of the late Rev. 
Zachariah and Elnora Glover McLoyd, was bom August 2, 1916 in 
Evans, Georgia and departed this earthly life at 11:15 p.m. on February 15 
2015. Sister Patterson accepted Christ at the age of 14 and was baptized 
under the pastorate of Rev. Hugh Sullivan at the Macedonia Baptist 
Church in Martinez, GA. While at Macedonia, she taught the 
Intermediate Sunday School Class for more than 20 years. She was a 
charter member of the Ushers and Usherettes Board, Club #2, Willing 
Workers Club and the Ushers Union of GA. She was also a devoted 
member of the Deaconess Board. 
In 1967, Sister Patterson left Macedonia by letter in Christian love. She 
and her husband of 62 years, the late Deacon James Cleveland Patterson, 
joined Elim Baptist Church and continued to work for the building of 
Gods Kingdom. The pastor, the late Rev. R.L. Boyd was elated to have 
both husband and wife together. At Elim, she was a member of the 
Sanctuary choir, Senior Mission and a dedicated Sunday school scholar. 
Sister Patterson served as Senior Mission president for eight years. She 
was selected as Elims Member of the Year for 1986. She served as 
president of the Helping Hands and Unity Clubs. Sister Patterson was a 
caterer and professional seamstress.

always by her side.

Crossing the Bar 
Sunset and evening star, 
And one clear call for me! 
And may there be no moaning of the bar, 
When I put out to sea, 
But such a tide as moving seems asleep, 
Too full for sound and foam, 
When that which drew from out the boundless deep 
Turns again home. 
Twilight and evening bell, 
And after that the dark! 
And may there be no sadness of farewell, 
When I embark; 
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place 
The flood may hear me far, 
I hope to see my Pilot face to face 
When I have crost the bar. 
Alfred Lord Tennyson
