On September 26, 2010, Voorhees College mourned the death of our own McCartney Jawoin Hill. McCartney was a senior attending Voorhees College from Grenville, SC. He departed us at an early age, but he left many memories and shares so many moments with the Voorhees family.
On Saturday, September 24, 2011 the Zion Hill Baptist Church in Greenville, SC hosted the memorial and candle lighting service for McCartney. The service represented the one year anniversary of the death of the great, sport loving, MC (as we all called him).
MC mother Tammy Hill and grandmother Delores Hill sat on the front row of the church and they held their selves together as we all celebrated as well as mourn the loss of MC on this day.
During the service each individual was giving a candle and was asked to participate in the lighting of the candles. Deacon James Williams give a memory tribute as the family, friends, and classmates blew out their candies (sending prayer to God to give us all strength).
There was also a remark section on the program, which allows family, friends, and others to talk about and share their memories and special moments with MC. Shaquandra Bryant, Biology major at Voorhees College, made a remark about how MC always gave her good advice and pointers. Jaylen McKlevey, a twelve year old resident of Greenville, SC remarks includes how excited he used to be when MC stayed up all night playing videos games with him. Several other family members and friends also shared their memories and special moments.
At the closing of the service, his mother gave thanks to the Voorhees Family for coming and their condolences throughout their grievances. She also collected a small token to give back to Voorhees College.
