On Friday, April 14, 2006, God sent His angel of mercy to gently call His Servant, Elmer Eugene McDonald from his earthly suffering to his realm of eternal peace. Elmer Eugene McDonald, known to many as ''Mac'', the tenth child of the late Maude and William McDonald, was born on September 4, 1927, in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Mac graduated from Wiley H. Bates High School in 1945. He attended Morgan State College and graduated in 1950 with a B.S. in Science education. He was a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. From 1950 until 1952, he served in the United States Army receiving an honorable discharge. In 1952 he began his teaching career at Wiley H. Bates High School. He was a dedicated and respect Science Teacher until 1966. After leaving Bates, he continued his career at the Eastern Shore's Princess Anne College until 1977. Mac taught in the Batimore City Public School System until his retirement in 1922. Teaching was always Mac's passion, even after retirement. He was a strong, yet firm teacher, whose family cringed when they found out they had ''Uncle Mac'' for the school term. He was fair to all, ask the family members that had to repeat his science class during the summer. Elmer enjoyed teaching, listening to good music and eating crabs. He was an avid gardener. Mac loved and had great pride in his flower garden. You would often see him standing outside admiring the beauty of the works of the Lord. Every summer you were sure to get a call fro him about his annual cookout. This time was special to him because he enjoyed entertaning his family and friends. Everyone looked forward to the home cooked food, assortment of music, laughter and dancing. It was a great family gathering. He leaves to cherish his loving memory: three sisters, Martha Johnson of Severna Park, Hilda Dorsey of Glen Burnie, Florine Harvey of New Jersey; one brother-in-law, William Harvey; a special nephew, William ''Billy'' Spencer; a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
