Obituary For Mrs. Eula Mae York-Steele
Mrs. Eula Mae York Steele, a gentle, loving, and caring woman, impacted many lives during her 88 years of life. She was born in Gibson, NC on March 1, 1934, to the late Charlie and Euola Mackie and was the second of eleven children. Her earthly journey ended on November 10, 2022. Eula was also preceded in death by her husband, Cornell York; two sons, John Leon, and Thaddeus York; grandson, Cedric York; three sisters, Elizabeth Moore, Anne McCullough, and Louise Evangelist; three brothers, Charlie, James, and Kelly Mackie. Eula moved to High Point, NC in 1950 with her late husband Cornell York. Eula was a woman of God: a long-time member of First Emmanuel Baptist Church. She was known for the kindness she showed to everyone and her passion for cooking. Sunday dinners were always a special time to relax and have quality time with her family. Eula's infectious personality attracted many friends and admirers; to know her was to love her. Eula worked numerous jobs throughout her life; however, her key role was mother and nurturer or "Mama" as she was affectionately called. Eula was committed and devoted to her loving husband (Callie Steele) who passed away in 2020. Those left to cherish her memories include three daughters, Dorothy (Lafayette) Wall, Martha and Glenda York; two sons, Vincent (Barbara) and Robert (Kim) York; eleven grandchildren; a host of great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren; eight step-children, notably, Bessie (Harold) Davis, her best friend of many years; one bonus daughter, Melodie Smith-Golden; two daughters in-law, Betty and Onnie Faye York; one sister, Maggie Bullard; four brothers, Sam (Jean) Mackie, Lee (Shirley) Mackie, Ronnie Mackie, and Bernise (Mary) Williams; two sisters-in-law, Kizzida Pankey, and Gerona Mae Dockery (Alexander); three brothers-in-law, Louis McCullough, Johnny Moses and George Steele; special nieces, Betty Robinson and Elizabeth Gibson; along with many other relatives and friends.
