MYRTLE BEACH - Mary Alice “Floss” Cameron, widow of Charles Donald Cameron, passed away at home Wednesday, February 22, 2006. Born October 12, 1930, in Mullins, SC, she was the daughter of the late Phildan Pearsall Johnson and Rachel Norton Johnson. Mrs. Cameron graduated from Mullins High School at age 16 and Converse College in 1950. After graduating from Converse with a degree in Sociology and Psychology, she worked as a social worker in Gaffney, SC. She went back to school and got certified in elementary education and then taught fourth and fifth grades in Gaffney and Marion. In 1964, Mrs. Cameron married Charles Donald Cameron and moved to Myrtle Beach with her son, John, and daughter, Taffy. In addition to her two children, she inherited four challenging children that were just like their father. Within three years, Floss and Donald decided that they needed more responsibility and Floss gave birth to Guy Skipper, everyone’s “Little Princess.” This birth was the strand that bonded two families into one. With much patience, care, and most of all “LOVE,” Floss raised seven children, creating a unique, loving family. Floss had many passions in life. She loved to fish out of Garden City Beach and Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas. There were many fishing trips with family and close friends that were always filled with laughter and unforgettable memories. Floss played bridge with the same group of friends for 40 years twice a month. Through the bridge club, the friends were able to help each other with the trials and tribulations of raising children. They have all stayed very close through the years. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Myrtle Beach and a member of the DAR. In addition to her husband, Mrs. Cameron was preceded in death by her parents; a brother, Fritz Norton Johnson; two sons, John Norton McMillan and Charles Donald Cameron, Jr.; a daughter-in-law, Marian Inman Cameron; a brother and sister-in-law, William Ennis Cameron, Jr. and Catherine McCleod Cameron. Surviving include a son, William Ennis Cameron of Rock Hill, SC; four daughters, Alice “Taffy” Johnson Cameron of the home, Skipper Cameron Rice and husband, Frank, of Greenwood, SC, Virginia Guy Cameron and husband, Jeff Burgeson, of Hodges, SC, and Candice Cameron Bailey and husband, Jimmy, of Rock Hill, SC; a daughter-in-law, Faith Jones McMillan of Florence, SC; two sisters-in-law, Carol Cameron Simpson and Ann Goode Cochran; 15 grandchildren. Visitation will be at McMillan Small Funeral Home in Myrtle Beach Thursday, February 23, from 6-8 p.m. The funeral service will be held at First United Methodist Church in Myrtle Beach Friday, February 24, at 11 a.m. with burial following in Ocean Woods Cemetery.
