Samuel Bivins' Obituary
Samuel Bivins transitioned from labor to reward on July 23rd, 2015, at home, surrounded by his family after a courageous battle against Alzheimers disease. Born September 6, 1937 in Macon (Jones County) Georgia, to Walter and Mariah (Finney) Bivins, he accepted Christ at an early age and attended St. James A.M.E. Church in Jones County, Georgia.
Sam was educated in the Jones County Public School System. Upon graduating from Maggie Cliff High School, he enlisted in the U.S. Army in which he served for three years and received an honorable discharge. He retired from US Steel Company after 32 years of service.
Sam was a faithful member of Mt. Pisgah A.M.E. Church in Princeton, NJ where he served in both the church choir and on the Missionary Board. Sam was a kind and generous man who loved his family. To know Sam was to love him.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Walter and Mariah Bivins, grandson Jordan Jackson, brother Bennie Bivins and sisters-in-law Juanita and Willene Bivins.
He leaves to cherish his memory his loving wife, Robin Bivins, five sons; Samuel B. Bivins and wife Vicki, Mark Bivins and wife Dawn, special devoted son Shamir, Ishmael and Alim Bivins, daughter, Morie Ann Jackson and husband Tim, two granddaughters; Mya and Kenndi Bivins, grandson Isaiah Jackson, two step-sons; Carl Thompson and Mattaay Smith, step-daughter Stacy Smith and husband Tony, sister Ruby Peck and husband William of Macon, GA, four brothers; Walter Bivins of Dayton, OH, Ernest Bivins and wife Ruby of Gordon, GA, Virgil Bivins and wife Valerie of Willingboro, NJ and James Bivins and wife Mammie of Macon, Jones County, GA, and special step-granddaughter Toniyah Harris.
