A time to be born

Mack Monley was born August 31, 1922 in Scotland County, North Carolina.  He was the son of the Late Rev. Josh Monley and the Late Sally Covington Monley.

A time to live

Mack was married to the Late Beulah Pankey Monley. They were blessed with three children:  Mack Jr. (deceased), Annie Margaret, and Lonzell. He was a loving husband, father, and grandfather.

Mack received very little education but had the mind and ability of someone who had mastered certification in many areas of study. He worked diligently and with much respect to support his family. After having to drop out of school at a very young age, in order to work on the farm, he later used his talents as a cook, painter, railroad worker, shop worker, and ultimately ended up as a machine mechanic at J. P. Stevens Plant.  While working as a machine mechanic he enrolled in classes at Richmond Community College in order to enhance his skill as a mechanic. After working as a mechanic for more than 32 years, he retired.

He was a praying man and loved bible study.
