June Carolyn Knight Satcher
Mrs. June Carolyn Knight Satcher, 86, passed away at home surrounded by her family on March 9, 2018.
Mrs. Satcher was born in Alachua, Florida on December 31, 1931 to Clarence and Myrtle Knight. Her father died when she was three, and she lived with her mother and other family members in various locations from Miami, Florida to the Catskills Mountains of New York. She graduated from Cave Spring High School and attended Shorter College.
She was married to James Alton Satcher Sr., April 5, 1949, and they returned to Rome after his military service to make their permanent home.
A loving wife, mother, grandmother and greatgrandmother, Mrs. Satcher spent more than 60 years in the Spring Creek Community of Rome on the family farm that she helped manage with her husband. In the truest sense of the word, she was a homemaker. Her life revolved around her family and her church.
The special joys in her life were the births of grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She loved to welcome new life into the world. She loved to welcome her children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren home for any reason, and come they did, and often, for food, attention and the special love only a mother or grandmother can offer. She would welcome them with a favorite meal or a cake that only she could make. They came to her with happy news for congratulation and sad news for consolation. They came for her wisdom and just to enjoy her company. She particularly enjoyed preparing for Christmas Eve when the entire extended family would gather for a feast prepared over many days to share music, stories and gifts.
An active member of Baptist churches all her life, she gladly served as a teacher for Sunday School and Vacation Bible School and as a member of the Women’s Missionary Union. She was especially compassionate and made visits to homes of the sick and bereaved to help ease hurts and sorrows. She shared her strong faith in an easy and natural way in her family setting and friendship circles. She is one reason that a number of younger family members are in active ministries. She was a member of North Broad Baptist Church.
She is survived by four children and their spouses: James Satcher, Jr. (Araceli); Gwendolyn Dellinger (David); Yvonne Henderson (Glenn); and Teresa Cecil (Alan). She is also survived by her brother, C.B. Knight (Cora), of Greenville, Florida; brother-in-law, Donald Satcher (Lillie); eighteen grandchildren, twenty-nine great-grandchildren, as well as a number of nieces and nephews; and dear friend, Jenny Gable.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, James Alton Satcher Sr., in January 1998; a dear Uncle Howard and Aunt Georgia “Coco” Thomas, who enriched her life as they lovingly cared for her when her father, and subsequently, June Carolyn Knight Satcher MEMORIAL MORTUARY 814 S.

PARIS (AP) — In her sleeveless black gown, with rows of pearl at the neck and oversized sunglasses, Audrey Hepburn’s Holly Golightly defined understated elegance. Hers was the iconic little black dress.
It was the work of Hubert de Givenchy, the French couturier who, along with Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Cristobal Balenciaga, redefined fashion in the wake of World War II. Givenchy was the epitome of Paris chic. His death at age 91 was announced Monday.
A towering man of elegance and impeccable manners, Givenchy forged close friendships with his famous clients, including Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Princess Grace of Monaco.
But none were as close to him or the fashion house that bore his name as Hepburn, whose simple chic became a kind of shorthand for the label. Besides the little black dress from the 1961 hit “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” Hepburn wore Givenchy’s designs in nearly a dozen other movies, as well on the red carpet and also in real life.
He was born Feb. 21, 1927, in the provincial city of Beauvais, north of Paris. Michael Dwyer / AP
