Frederica Alexander Black
February 6, 1919 — February 26, 2016
Frederica A. BlackMarion, NCFrederica Alexander Black, formerly of Pickens, SC, passed peacefully at Rose Hill Retirement Home in Marion, NC on Friday, February 26, 2016.
She was born into this world on February 6, 1919, in Pickens, SC, a beloved daughter of Ernest Franklin & Frederica McDaniel Alexander.
Upon graduating Pickens High School, she married her one and only love; her high school sweetheart, Joseph William(Bill) Black. They married on June 22, 1938 and lived the majority of their near 72 years of marriage primarily in Pickens, SC where they lovingly raised their two children.
Mrs. Black was an incredibly kind, sweet, and unassuming lady who devoted her entire life to her family. She was a beloved wife, sister, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. It was obvious to anyone who knew her that she treasured the role of homemaker and embraced it wholeheartedly.
Anyone who ever had the honor of gracing the door of her home was immediately and warmly made to feel welcome. She was genuinely gracious the entirety of her 97 years.
A beautiful Christian example not only for her family, she cherished volunteering in the First Baptist Church of Pickens 4 & 5 year olds Sunday School class for decades where she both taught and played the piano. During that time period, she could be found every Saturday evening sitting in their living room at the upright piano going over the music for the following morning.
Surviving to remember her with love are: her two children, Linda Black Wood (Richard) and Joseph Tribble Black (Kathy); granddaughters, Heather Wood Anderson (Greg) and Liza Wood Holmes (John); and two great-granddaughters, Grace and Molly Anderson.
In addition to her parents, Mrs. Black was predeceased by her much beloved husband, Joseph William(Bill) Black; younger sister and dearest friend, Julia McKenzie Alexander; and treasured older brother, Vincent Holley Alexander.
The family rests in the knowledge that this dear woman who spent her Earthly life making home a sweet and loving place for them is now receiving her welcome into her eternal home which has been lovingly awaiting her arrival.
A service to celebrate Mrs. Black's life will be held on Saturday, March 5, 2016 at 11:00 AM in the chapel of Robinson Funeral Home-Downtown, 305 W. Main Street, Easley, SC 29640.
The family will receive friends prior to the service on Saturday from 10:00 AM until 10:45 AM at the funeral home.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Pickens Historical Society: PO Box 775, Pickens, SC 29671 or the Hospice of your choice.
