Elizabeth Fountain McQuarter

Evangelist Elizabeth Fountain McQuarter was born May 1, 1952 in Woodville, Mississippi to the union of the late William and Flora Sago Fountain.  On December 24, 1967, Elizabeth married Lilton McQuarter and to this union two children were born: the late Lilton Jr and Denise Michelle. She confessed Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of her life and was baptized in 1981 at New Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church by Pastor George Davis, Sr.  At the time of her demise, Elizabeth was not only a faithful member, but was the esteemed First Lady of Second True Love Missionary Baptist Church under the pastorship of her husband, Pastor Lilton McQuarter, Sr. She served in many capacities during her twenty five years as First Lady, including: choir member, Sunday School teacher and superintendent, deaconess, president of the Sisterhood ministry, evangelist, and surrogate mother to many.  She received her educational foundation at Wilkinson County Elementary and completed high school after moving to New Orleans, Louisiana. She then furthered her studies at Phillips Junior College and received her Master’s in Christian Education from Christian Bible College of Louisiana.  Elizabeth was employed by Charity Hospital of New Orleans from 1977 until her retirement in 1999.  Since her retirement, Elizabeth devoted her time to her loving husband and spoiling her children and grandchildren, but most importantly, she had a hunger for uplifting the Kingdom of God. Her love for humanity extended beyond her immediate family, as she was always willing to help others. She will long be remembered as a wonderful wife, marvelous mother, gracious grandmother, selfless sister, amazing aunt, and fond friend. On Tuesday, May 5, 2020, after more than a one month battle with COVID-19, Almighty God dispatched an angel to serve final summons on His child, Elizabeth.  He informed her that her suffering was over; it was time to take her rest. Elizabeth hastily, yet humbly, heeded the Master’s call as she stepped aboard the Chariot of Eternal Life.  Left to cherish and rejoice in her memories is her devoted husband, Rev. Dr. Lilton McQuarter, Sr; her daughter, Denise; three grandsons: Terrence, Michael, and Emmanuel; one granddaughter, Maya Elizabeth; two great-grandsons: Coren and Christian; five sisters: Delores (Charles) Fountain, Annie Bario, Bessie Fountain, Mary (the late Ernest) Simon, and Ora (John) Thomas; two brothers: Johnny (Louise) Fountain and Robert Fountain; sisters-in law: Dorothy (the late Sam) McQuarter, Helen Seiber, and Audrey (the late William) Grover, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, neighbors, and friends.  Elizabeth was preceded in death by her parents William Sr and Flora Fountain; her son, Lilton “Papa Doc” McQuarter, Jr; sisters Shirley Fountain and Virginia Brown; brothers William Jr. and Matthew Fountain; sisters-in-law Fannie McQuarter, Bernice McCollum, Millie Bell, and Rose McQuarter; brothers-in-law Arthur, Sam McQuarter, William Grover, Ernest Simon, and Joseph Brown; and nephews Charlie Fountain, Louis Brown, and Ernest Warner.
