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. McKeever's 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 Ms. McKeever's life belonged to Christ, Christ's unending life belongs to her. She is with God in glory.
