Pearlie Mae had two remaining sisters. Her twin, Mamie and her older sister Alice. Lea Alice Frierson McKiver was the sixth child of the late William and Queen E. Frierson, born May 4, 1916 in
Timmonsville, South Carolina. Early Tuesday morning November 24, 2009 she departed her life.
Alice graduated from
Upchurch High School in 1935. She worked at
Fort Bragg before relocating to Long Island, New York. Alice later moved to
Haverstraw, New York and was employed by the State of New York, at
Letchworth Village, a residential Service of the Office of Developmental Disable Services for over 25 years, until retirement. In 1999, Alice returned home to Raeford, North Carolina. He was united in Holy Matrimony with Howard T. McKiver who preceded her in death. She is also preceded in death by three brothers and six sisters. She leaves to mourn: two children and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. Although we may be sadden because we will miss her, it is a comfort for us to know the one we LOVE has found eternal and lasting peace.
We were with her at the very end and was honored to have been allowed the privilege of spending her last remaining days with her and the family. We've lost more than an aunt we lost a familial legacy. A human historical remnant of people, places and memories not found in any library, museum or laboratory and forever lost to the future. Alice L. Frierson McKiver was/is both irreplaceable and unforgettable to all who knew her.
