Tammy (Dean) Waibel and Tim (Natalie) Thompson are sad to announce the passing of their mother, Aisha CeCe MacMillan (formerly Carolyn Thompson), age 66, of Ladson, South Carolina. She went home to meet her Lord and Savior on Wednesday, January 23, 2019, at Hallmark Healthcare Center in Summerville, South Carolina.
Aisha was born on April 25, 1952, in Lawrenceville, Illinois, to Ona and Lola Ervin (Lovin). Aisha had seven brothers and sisters: Connie (Jesse) Washburn, Catherine Ervin, Candice (Ken) Soleki, Cherry (Greg) Brown, Christine (Bob) Oller, Dennis (Connie) Ervin, and Daniel (Katherine) Ervin.
Aisha married Clarence Kenneth Thompson on December 19, 1970. Aisha and Ken (Flash) had two children, Tammy and Tim, and four grandchildren, Justin Waibel, Mackenna Thompson, Harmony Waibel, and Hayden Thompson.
Throughout the years, Aisha has been a homemaker, factory worker, and a home healthcare aide to mention a few. In her late 30s, early 40s, Aisha had the desire to go to college and walked across the stage to receive her LPN license as her family cheered her on. She went on to work at the Indiana Veterans Home in Lafayette, Indiana, for several years after this accomplishment.
After 30 years together, Aisha and Ken grew apart and divorced. Aisha spent a brief time in Florida, then met her longtime companion, Marty MacMillan, and moved to Boston, Massachusetts, to be closer to him. Aisha and Marty, a few years later, moved to Summerville, South Carolina, where she lived out the rest of her days. Aisha belonged to and was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Preceding Aisha in death along with her grandparents are her father, Ona Franklin Ervin, her sisters Catherine and Cherry, and brothers Dennis and Daniel Ervin.
