Welcome to groups.io
I appreciate those of you who have subscribed to our list here on groups.io. I sent out 47 invitations to the members we had on Rootsweb. So far we only have 8 members here but I am hoping some more will join us. There were quite a few email bounces (user unknown) so we likely had some members who have passed away. At any rate, I hope we can revive the list and do some meaningful sharing this year. I read a good article on Dick Eastman’s genealogy blog this morning with his take on groups.io. I thought you might be interested in reading it: https://blog.eogn.com/2020/01/10/groups-io-the-do-it-yourself-replacement-for-disappearing-message-boards-and-mailing-lists/ Wanda Rabb - admin

Posting obituaries to the Rabb Surname Board on Rootsweb
I am going to be posting Rabb obits again to the surname board on Rootsweb (like I used to do regularly). If you recall, the posts to that board used to filter through to our old Rabb-L on Rootsweb but after Rootsweb was hacked and they had to take everything down for that year to repair things, we lost the benefit of the board posts filtering to our list. You might want to visit the board and add it to your alerts so you will be notified when someone posts to the board. Here is a link to the board: https://www.ancestry.com/boards/surnames.rabb/mb.ashx ( https://www.ancestry.com/boards/surnames.paxton/mb.ashx ) The box below is on the right side of the screen when you access a board. You can click on "Add Board to Alerts" and I believe you will get email alerts when a message has been posted.

While attending New York University, Marian became a member of the historical Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. After graduating from college and graduate school Marian devoted 31 years as a Teacher and then Principal to educate, mentor, motivate and lead students and teachers to be the Best. These devotions were to the students and faculty of Alfred C. Priestley Junior High as a teacher, Booker T. Washington Senior High School as a teacher, Gateway Senior High School as a Principal, and Sophie B. Wright Junior High as a Principal. They were all touched by her teaching and innovative administrative policies on effectively managing a successful school. Marian believed that every student had a right to a quality education and that every teacher must be continuously trained to be "at the top of their game" in order to prepare their students for the next level of life. Marian loved her family dearly and enjoyed the family holiday events and gatherings. She also loved going out with her husband and close friends to hear live music. Marian and her husband also enjoyed attending various Carnival Balls throughout the years. Also, for those who knew her well, knew that she never cut her tongue and would speak her mind, but for the betterment of the person or situation! Marian's favorite football team of all--THE SAINTS!!! She enjoyed being a season ticket holder until her health was an issue. Marian was a true diehard Saints Fan!!! Marian also had a very close relationship with her son whom she loved dearly and continued to provide guidance and lessons on life. The last six years of Marian's life were spent living with her beloved son due to a fall, but those last six years her son made sure she continued living her best life to the fullest!

She was a member of Lost Mountain Baptist Church of Powder Springs, GA. and a member of the Discoverer's Class there. She is survived by her children, Rusty Rabb and wife Lori of Monticello, AR., Judy Holley and husband Tim of Cartersville, GA , and Ward Rabb and wife Shelly of Monticello, AR. She is also survived by her pride and joy of 6 grandchildren: Kaycee Rountree and husband Timothy of Sunnyvale, TX, Leah Bryant and husband Chris of Monticello, AR, Tyler Holley of Cartersville, GA, Michael Rabb and wife Aly of Monticello, AR, Dillon Rabb and wife Sarah of Ft. Smith, AR. and Matt Holley of Cartersville, GA. They called her MeMe and she loved to say, "Not everybody can brag like I can about having beautiful grandkids!" She loved teaching them to play poker, swimming in the ocean with them in the Bahamas, playing in the snow at Keystone, and dancing with them at their weddings. She was spunky and full of life! Her crown of glory was her 8 great-grandchildren: Harper Ann, Asher Thomas, Paxton Thomas, Beau Kelly, Norah Mae, Levi Matthew, Cleo Marie, and Josie Kay (her namesake). Linda's only surviving sister, Jerry May, lived in Acworth with her. She is also survived by her brother, Glenn Harper of Ferriday, LA. Linda was a force to be reckoned with throughout her life. She was an accomplished seamstress and at the age of 17 made her own wedding dress. She was employed by numerous sewing factories where she quickly advanced from the sewing floor to supervision to even plant manager. She was well known for her exceptional cooking, which led to her owning two restaurants and a catering business. Everyone looked for her dishes at the church potlucks and some deacons were known to sneak a bowl of her chicken and dumplings and gumbo before they hit the buffet tables. Her last endeavor led to her most accomplished and favorite career of all- becoming a sales associate with AFLAC. She began as an agent, but of course, that wasn't good enough. In 2005, Linda earned the "Georgia's Aflac New Associate of the Year." She worked her way up to become a District Sales Coordinator. She loved training new associates to help them become the best. Linda was featured in a book called, "Make More, Worry Less" by: Wes Moss, with a chapter about her titled: "The Compound Income Effect- Linda Rabb (from Steak n Shake to Aflac)." After her retirement in 2014, she put all her efforts into her two favorite passions, church missions and her flower garden. She devoted all her mornings to working in the Pass-It-On Clothing Ministry of Lost Mountain Baptist Church and donating goods to the local schools sponsored by the church. She loved people and loved serving people. Her yard would rival any botanical garden in the area. She could name almost any plant, flower, or bird from memory. For the past 9 years, she has hosted a Garden Party for her Active Adult Group from the church and for her neighborhood. There will be a "Walk Through Her Garden" time on Friday, May 15, 2020 from 4pm-6pm at her home.

Her private Memorial Service will be held Monday, December 21, 2020 in Old St. Andrew's Parish Church with a Funeral Service to be held at Holy Cross Cemetery at a later date. Arrangements by J. Henry Stuhr, Inc. Downtown Chapel. Ann was born February 4, 1936 in Columbia, SC, daughter of the late Jonathan Rabb and Ethel Blume Rabb. She attended the College of Charleston where she played Varsity Basketball. She worked as a Secretary at the Medical University of South Carolina from 1956 to 1980 and then went on to serve as an Office Manager at Ophthalmology Consultants. She retired in 1992 and moved to Melbourne, Florida. She returned to Charleston to spend many wonderful years surrounded by her family and friends. She was a member of St. Andrew's Parish Church and enjoyed attending the Elks Club and the Rifle Club with Granddaddy. She found joy in good times spent with those she loved. Our beloved matriarch taught us all how to cook with love, host with ease, give with passion, shop for days, and love unconditionally. She enjoyed the fine things in life - sparkles, spirits, and fur - and treasured the most important - family, friendship, and faith. Life was her party and she was always dressed to impress and ready to dance. Christmas was her favorite holiday and being together was of ultimate importance. She lost her partner, Jerry, just five months ago. This Christmas, there is peace in knowing they are united. Known to our family as "Grandmommy," Ann is survived by her two daughters; Allison Miles Norton, and Jeanne Rabb Livingston (Bubba) both of Charleston, SC; four grandchildren, Tyler Norton, Britton Tucker (Harper), Cal Livingston (Mandy) and Trey Livingston (Sarah) and five great-grandchildren. As a survivor of breast and lung cancer, it was her wish that in lieu of flowers, Memorials may be made to the American Cancer Society of Charleston, SC.
