It was with sadness when my old friend Robert Strickland from Sopchoppy told me via Facebook that Angeline, the maid who kept me while we lived in Sopchoppy, died on July 4th at the age of 89.
She was the daughter of Charlie and Rachael Gainey, and the wife of George C. Donaldson for 56 years.She was the mother of three sons, Willie G., George Patrick, and Alvin B.Donaldson, and a daughter, Juanita Staley, who all preceded her in death.
She was a home care provider for 31 years.
Her service was Saturday, July 14th at 11AM at the Greater Mount Trial P.B. Church in Sopchoppy. She was buried at the Buckhorn Cemetery.
She was survived by her two devoted sisters, Rosa M.Roiser and Annie Lee Carter of Tallahassee, a brother-in-law, Roscoe Franklin of Philadelphia.
She had 13 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren, five great,great grandchildren, nine nieces and nephews and a host of great niceces, nephews, cousins and sorrowing friends, including one little boy who would lovingly run from her as she lovingly chased him from the house with the big red butcher knife.
