I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. II Timothy 4:7 On July 10, 2010, the victory was won, when Sister Jonnie Marie Adkins Pollins embraced the arms of God and laid aside all her burdens and received her crown of Glory. Marie was born October 29, 1948 in Effingham County, Georgia, a daughter of the late Mary White Adkins and Mack Neal Adkins Sr. of Clyo, Georgia. She was educated in the Effingham County public schools where she received her high school diploma. She met Mr. Earl Pollins, and they were united in holy matrimony on January 31, 1971. Marie accepted Jesus Christ in her life at a very young age. She joined Sweet Rock Holiness Church where she was a long time member under the leadership of the late Bishop Sanders and pastored by Elder Robinson. In 1981, the family moved to Moncks Corner, South Carolina, where she joined Tabernacle of Prayer for All People under the leadership of the late Apostle Johnnie Washington and pastored by Elder Arthur Manigault. Later in life, she and the family attended Life Changers Covenant Ministries under the leadership of Pastor Charlie Redish where she served faithfully for over 25 years until her health declined. Her time was well spent reading and studying the Bible, reading poetry, and listening to Gospel music. Her favorite passage of scripture was Psalms 23. Her favorite verse was Isaiah 53:5 which gave her comfort during her prolonged illness. Marie was a loving and nurturing mother, wife, sister, grandmother, and friend. She was a generous and kind-hearted person and was willing to give of herself to others. She was preceded in death by her brother James Adkins. Those who will forever cherish fond memories are: her husband, Earl Pollins of Moncks Corner, SC; two daughters, Jacqueline Adkins Harris (Tommy) of Portsmouth, VA and Kaleisha Pollins of Moncks Corner, SC; five sons, Earl Pollins Jr. (Lydia) and Kevin Pollins of Springfield, MA, Bobby Adkins, Daryl Pollins and Bryant Pollins all of Moncks Corner, SC; four brothers, Bishop Mack Neal Adkins Jr. (Nancy), Bishop Alvin Adkins (Annie), Captain White Adkins (Agnes) all of Clyo, GA and John Adkins (Delores) of Barnwell, SC; four sisters, Dorothy Folder of Clyo, GA, Bonnie Green, Mary Adkins and Pauline Lomax (Horace) all of Greenville, SC; six stepsisters and one stepbrother, Pearlene Garvin (Lester), Rev.
