Acknowledgment

We would like to express our sincere appreciation for your love, kindness, and prayers during this time of bereavement.

The Family of Louise McLeod

To Those I Love And Those Who Love MeWhen I am gone, release me. Let me go.

I have so many things to see and do.You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears,

Be happy, we had so many years.I gave you my love and you can only guess,

How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown,

But now it’s time I traveled alone.So grieve a while for me if grieve you must,Then let your grief be comforted by trust.It’s only for a while that we must part,So bless those memories in your heart.I won’t be far away for life goes on,

So if you need me, call and I will come.Though you can’t see or touch me,

I’ll be near with all my love around you soft and clear.And then, when you must come this way alone,

I’ll greet you with a smile and “Welcome You Home”.

The Obituary

Mother Louise McLeod, daughter of the late Lawrence and Beatrice McCollum, was born on April 19, 1939 in Hoke County. On Friday, March 20th, 2020, our precious lord and savior dispensed an angel to escort Louise McLeod to her heavenly home. Today she is no longer bound and there are no chains of illness holding her, her soul is resting, Hallelujah she is free! Mother McLeod was the eldest of nine children, loving wife , mother , grandmother, sister and friend. Louise was educated by the Hoke County School Systems and graduated from Wilfred Academy for cosmetology in 1980 in Newark, NJ. She worked for DYFS as a mentor and foster mother and also worked for Newark Liberty International Airport. While in New Jersey, she attended Pentecost Inspirational Baptist Church. Upon her relocation to Raeford, NC, she joined Leach Springs Missionary Baptist Church and was a faithful member of the church. She was an active attendee of the Hoke County Senior Services Center, where she partook in various social activities including one of her favorites, bingo. Mother McLeod is survived by her husband Lacy McLeod, five children: Larry McLeod (Mary), Lacy McLeod (Lola), Anthony McLeod (Edith), Markeith McLeod (Robin) and Marchelle McLeod, 12 grandchildren, 16 great grandchildren, siblings : John W. McCollum, Roscoe McCollum (Anne), Bennie Kelly (James), Earnestine Blue (Walter), Hervon McCollum (Mary), Joe McCollum (Prudence), Mary Taylor, Marian Dobbins (Willie) all of Raeford, NC and Dennis Lomack (Lisa) of Sacramento, CA, nieces, nephews, her caregiver Hope Revels and a host of other relatives and friends.
