God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you and saw you pass away and although we love you dearly we could not make you stay. A Golden heart stopped beating hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best.
We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone for the love and affection shown during our time of bereavement. May God continue to bless each of you.

For I am ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. II Timothy 4: 6-8 (KJV)
Growing up in the Taylor’s Community, she joined Second Union Baptist Church at an early age. Mildred was a faithful servant in the church for many years, serving on several auxiliaries until her health declined. She enjoyed baking cakes, cooking, and taking care of people. She was a mother figure to most, caring for children in the community. In her later years, she volunteered as a Foster Grandparent with Richland District One elementary schools. She was predeceased by her husband, Leroy Singletary; daughter, Felita LaTonya Singletary; son, Reginald Barry Singletary; three sisters: Nellie Ruth Dean McDaniel, Marion Eleza Dean, and Claudelle Dean Gibson; and two brothers, Rufus Dean, Jr. and Joseph Dean, Sr.
Mrs. Mildred Jane Dean Singletary was born March 26, 1942 in Edgefield, South Carolina and raised in the Taylor’s Community of Columbia, South Carolina. “Bay”, as she was affectionately known by her family and friends, departed this life to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 16, 2017. Bay was educated in the Richland County public school system, graduating from Booker T. Washington High School in 1960, where she studied cosmetology and obtained her license prior to graduating. She worked for many years at Anne’s Beauty Salon where she enjoyed making ladies beautiful, especially with her renowned skill of the "Press & Curl”. She went on to work at Horsman Dolls for many years, collecting dolls that she cherished and gave as gifts. Her working career ended in 1988, after several years as a Certified Nursing Assistant at CM Tucker Center of Columbia.
