Maggie McKeever entered into eternal peace with her family at her side 
on Saturday, May 14, 2016. Born May 9, 1925, she was the daughter of 
the late William and Sarah McKeever. 
Ms. McKeever was a lifelong resident of Evans County and attended 
public school there. She joined Green Cypress Baptist Church at a young age 
and attended consistently until her health prevented her from participating. 
God and family were Ms. McKeevers passion and delight. She was a loved 
and respected matriarch who leaves a legacy of faith, strength, humility, 
kindness and generosity. 
As we grieve our loss, let us not forget what Ms. McKeever has gained. 
Because M. McKeevers life belonged to Christ, Christ's unending life belongs 
to her. She is with God in glory. 
Ms. McKeever leaves her love and memories to be cherished by her 
children: Junior (Wilhemena) Palmer of Claxton; Robbie Lee Palmer 
of Hagan; Laura (Willie James) Miller of Fayetteville, N.C.; Jessie Mae 
(Jimmy) Carr of Claxton; George McKeever of Claxton; Geraldine Smith 
of Hagan; Clark (Emmaretta) McKeever of Hinesville, Vanessa (Delmas) 
Williams of Cordele; 16 grandchildren; 25 great-grandchildren; 1 great- 
great-grandchild and numerous nieces and nephews. 
In addition to her parents, Ms. McKeever was preceded in death by her 
sisters and brothers: Juanita McKeever, Lola Mae McKeever, Leila Allen, 
Tholia Benjamin, Clarence Lee McKeever, Frank McKeever, Jim McKeever 
and Louis McKeever; daughter-in-law Mary Lee Palmer and son-in-law 
Vernon Smith. 
Psalm 23 
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: 
he leadeth me beside the still waters. 
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of 
righteousness for his names sake. 
Yea, though L walk through the valley of the shadow ofdeath, I will fear 
no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy stajfthey comfort me. 
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: 
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 
Surely goodness and mercy shallfolbw me all the days of my life: 
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. 
om 
When lam gone, release me. Let me go. 
I have so many things to see and do. 
You mustnt tie yourself to me with tears. 
Be happy that we had so many beautiful years. 
I gave to you my love. You can only guess 
How much you gave to me in happiness. 
I thank you for the love you each have shown. 
But now its time I traveled on alone. 
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must. 
Then let your grief be comforted by trust. 
Its only for a while that we must part. 
So bless the memories within your heart. 
I wont be far away, for life goes on. 
So if you need me, call and I will come. 
Though you cant see or touch me. Ill be near 
And if you listen with your heart. 
You ll hear all my love around you sofi and clear. 
And then, when you must come this way alone. 
Ill greet you with a smile and say Welcome home...
