IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Ernestine
Griffin
October 26, 1942 – January 1, 2018
Ernestine Griffin, daughter of the late Rosetta and Jack
Miller, was born on October 26, 1942. She was called
__ --'~home to be with her Lord and Savior on January 1, 2018.
Ernestine, also known as "Stine", accepted Christ at an early age.
She received her education in the Baltimore City Public Schools
System. In her later years, Stine met and married, the late Calvin
Griffin.
Ernestine worked numerous jobs. After completing over twenty
years of service, she retired from Maryland Hospital Laundry in
1983.
Stine loved to dance, cook and play cards with her two sisters,
Lucille and Roberta. At the family cookouts, Stine was always
the life of the party. You can always find her in a line dance or
on the dance floor grooving to her favorite songs, by Al Green
and Teddy Pendergrass. You didn't have to look too bard, just
look for the Diva in all white, from head to toe ... That was her.
Ernestine loved and adored her family. She enjoyed spending
time with her grandsons, great-nieces and nephews. If you asked
her for anything, she'd try her best to help you. Cooking for her
family was one of the things she loved the most. She was known
for her signature potato salad, her cabbage and rice, and her
macaroni and cheese. Stine will be missed by everyone who
knew and loved her.
Ernestine leaves to celebrate her life; one daughter, Shallice
Phelps (Michelle); one son, Ronald Mitchell (Christine); three
sisters, Roberta Branch, Lucille Miller, and Cynthia Hayes; one
brother in law, Lee Branch; eight grandchildren; two great
grandsons; two aunts, Mary and Celestine; two uncles, James and
Ben; and a host of other relative and friends.
