| HIST | of Rimini, South Carolina of Greensboro, North Carolina Earline J. Singleton Earline Emma James Singleton was born in Remini in 1921 to the Rev. and Mrs. Gibb James. She was the fourth sibling of seven children born to that union. She was educated in the public schools of Sumter County. In her youth, she was a member of Antioch African Methodist Episcopal Church. Her early adult years were spent in Wilmington, N.C., where she met the love of her life, Ulysses Singleton. They were married in Sumter County. She and her husband lived in Wilmington for several years and attended St. Stephen A.M.E. Church. Both worked for Crosby Taxi Service before moving to Brooklyn, N.Y., in 1956. While in New York, she was a member of Lincoln Memorial A.M.E. Church. She was employed by Palizzio Shoes & Handbags in New York City for approximately 13 years. Earline and her husband returned to live in Remini in 1968, where she was employed by Crescent Tools in Sumter for several years. She joined the New Hope A.M.E Church and was a member of the Missionary Society and Church Choir. She was honored to be the Mother of the Church. Her family, her community, her church and her friends were the focus of her life. Earline relocated to Greensboro, N.C., in 2010 to be closer to her nieces once her health began to decline. She later became a resident at Shannon Gray Recovery and Rehabilitation Center in Jamestown, N.C., where she spent her final years in the care of the capable and professional staff. She was preceded in death by her husband of more than 40 years, Ulysses Singleton; her parents, the Rev. Gibb James and Mrs. Maude James McKnight; four sisters, Walmeta Crosby, Almeta Wells, Netha Conyers, and Dorothy McKnight; and three brothers, Ernest James, Chapelle James and Alvin James. Precious memories will be cherished by her surviving sister, Gladys James Montgomery (Stanley, Sr.), of Sumter, and a host of nieces and nephews who loved her, cared about her and cared for her. She is also survived by two sisters-in-law, Mattie Martin James and Dorothy Brooks James.
