PRINCE ALBERT
The Rev. Prince Albert went to his heavenly home on Saturday, June 30, 2018.
He was born on March 19, 1947, in Sumter County.
He was the son of the late Wisdom Albert Sr. and Mary Anderson Albert.
His loving and very devoted wife of over 50 years, minister Alice (Adline) Knox Albert, devoted herself faithfully and tirelessly to his care and to make sure he had the best of everything life had to offer.
Rev. Albert loved to preach and talk about God everywhere he went: in the home and work place.
He did many revivals. He was a very humble person of very few words.
A smile would cross his face and he would just smile until he got into the Holy Place, which is the pulpit.
He loved his home church, Mechanicsville United Methodist Church and adored Joshua Baptist Church. Each and every member and everyone who knew him loved him. He especially loved his pastor, the Rev. Eugene Dennis, his deacons, and co-workers.
But most of all he adored his wife, Mrs. Adline and his family, but he always, above all, put God first.
Rev. Prince Albert came in contact with so many people and loved them all, for a man of very little words.
He lived what he preached.
Throughout his illness, he would ask about certain ones, such as his best friends, Mr. Allen McClockin, Mr. James from Colo-fi, Mechanicsville Young Adult Choir, the Rev. Edward McDowell and all church members. He loved to sing the song "I'm Going to Trust in the Lord Until I Die."
He was a gentle giant of a man who loved his family to the end.
He leaves to cherish his memories his loving, devoted, faithful wife, Alice (Adline) Knox Albert; five children, Shelia (Johnny) Albert, Tyrone (Shirley) Albert Sr., Charlene (Rodney) A. Cain, Casandra ( Jeffery) Snow; 11 grandchildren, Simon Grant, Tyrone Tyrell Jr., Tylesha, Xavier, Tyquan and Charity Albert, Tanija Sanders, Christopher Taylor, Jordan and Justin Snow, and Rashod Cain; five great-grandchildren, Demani Hart, Xavier Jr., Tyleah, Xavionna and Caiden Albert; three sisters, Betty (Donald) White, Jessie (Melvin) Ellington, and Mary (Verness) Harrison; two brothers, Wisdom (Ada) Albert Sr. and Edward (Deborah) Albert Sr.; a nephew who he loved as his own son, Darryle Albert; nieces and nephews, Wisdom Albert Jr., Sara Ann Jenkin, Rania, Shenedia, Monique, Bryant, and Jammie; two aunts; one uncle; and a host of other relatives and friends.
