Honoring
Gilda Lassiter McCarty, age 96, passed away on Monday, July 6, 2026.
Mrs. McCarty was born on August 20th, 1929 in Bladenboro, NC, daughter of the late Ebbie and Jimmie Lassiter.
Mrs. McCarty was raised in Lumberton, NC. She was the youngest of ten children and was always surrounded by her big loving family. She met the love of her life, Dan McCarty in 1949 and they were married for 47 years. They were an active military family and traveled most of their married life. They settled in Georgia in 1969 and she then began her career with Southern Bell. She retired after more than 20 years of dedicated service and then they settled in Cherokee County. She enjoyed gardening and cooking for her family. She loved to travel to see her family in Hawaii and soak up the sun on the beaches. She also traveled extensively with her younger daughter, who was also her neighbor.
Most of all, she was a true and faithful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ and a proud member of Prayer and Praise Christian Fellowship, where she was instrumental in leading a women’s Bible Study. While she was able, she never missed a Sunday at church because she loved worshiping and singing.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Marable “Dan” McCarty; two children, James “Danny” McCarty and Cynthia Boone; one grandson; one great-granddaughter; three sons-in-law; five brothers; four sisters.
Survivors include her daughters, Lisa Kong and Terri Hooks; eight grandchildren, Glenda (Rocky) Like, Sonja (Chris) Tarr, Bridgette (Kim) Kong, Michael Martin, DJ (Morgan) Hooks, Timothy (Taylor Gay) Hooks, Jessica Millwood, Michelle (Steven) Porter; 10 great-grandchildren; 5 great-great-grandchildren; a host of nieces and nephews.
A Celebration of Life Service will be conducted at two o’clock in the afternoon on Saturday, the 11th of July, 2026 at Prayer and Praise Christian Fellowship with Pastor Larry Baker officiating. Interment will immediately follow in Rolling Hills Cemetery, Acworth, GA
Flowers are accepted or memorial donations may be made to Prayer and Praise Christian Fellowship, 6409 Bells Ferry Rd., Woodstock, GA 30189.
"How Do You Measure Success?..."
Ministry, it is not measured in numbers, the size of your church, or the budget. Success in ministry (and life) is two things:
Your ability to hear God's voice and your willingness to obey."
To hear and obey... PERIOD.
The rest? It's up to God.
Pastor Larry H. Baker
