Bessie Mae Parker McGill, daughter of the late Nelson and Elizabeth Lizzie Parker, was born on October 29, 1929 in Bahama, North Carolina.  She departed this life on Sunday, May 10, 2020.

She was educated in the Durham County School system and was a graduate of Little River High School.

She was a devoted caregiver.

She was an avid gardener that could grow or bring life to anything.  She was a huge Tarheel fan who rarely missed watching a game.  Most importantly, she was a mother, sister, grandmother, aunt and friend.  These are the roles she cherished most.  But her most important role that she loved more than anything was being a child of God and teaching his word by being a living example of his teachings.
