Mother Macie Love Parker Devine

What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs, to bear.  What a privilege it to carry, everything to God in prayer. O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pains we bear, all because we do not carry, everything to God in prayer.  Have we tryers and temptation, is there trouble anywhere, we should never be discouraged, take it to the lord in prayer, and so on the hymn goes.  With sadness in our heart, the Davis funeral home, 301 North Oak Street, Ocilla Georgia 31774 pause to announce the death and home going celebration for Mother Macie Love Parker Devine of 601 North Fieldstone Drive, Ocilla Georgia.  Born February 7, 1935 in Osierfield, Irwin county Georgia,  to the late Mrs. Elizabeth Simpson Parker and the late Mr. Richard Parker Sr.  Mother Devine received God's call from labor to reward on Saturday morning August 12, 2023, surround by her loving family.  She leaves to cherish her memories her children: Mrs. Helen Parker Colbert, Savannah Georgia, Mrs. Janice Devine Jenkins, Ocilla Georgia, Mrs. Amelia  (Devine) and Pastor Donnie Smith, Fitzgerald Georgia, Mr. Jerry Devine, Fitzgerald Georgia, Mrs. Katherine Devine Lewis, Fitzgerald Georgia, Mr. Darryon and Mrs. Lakeysha Devine, Fitzgerald Georgia and Mr. Dexter and Mrs. Neshika Devine, Augusta Georgia.
