We are excited that all of you shared our love for honoring our ancestors. We’ve only just begun!
Please challenge your peers to join our next cleanup day restoring the grave markers of our military veterans.
The association’s motto is “How we take care of our ancestral monuments reflects how we care for and think about ourselves. If we do not protect our cemeteries, no one else will.”
Our efforts require continuous physical and financial support. The association is accepting new members and monetary donations in the name of the Darlington Memorial Cemetery.
Please contact Shelia Baccus at 843-307-2287 and email shelabig@yahoo.com for additional information.
Gladys Wingate Jules,
Darlington
