Mrs. Alma "Cookie" Blocker

The Heavenly Choir gained a new voice on Tuesday, June 27, 2023, when Alma Blocker joined them in praises to her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Alma “Cookie” Blocker was born on August 29, 1946, in Bamberg County, South Carolina, to the late Isaiah and Alma Jacobs. 

Alma graduated from Voorhees High School and Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina. She was faithfully employed for many years at Shuron, Inc., Bamberg County Disabilities Board, and also Bamberg Job Corps Center. Alma was united in holy matrimony to her loving and devoted husband, Mr. Clarence Blocker, Sr. For sixty years they shared marital bliss. She was a loving wife and together they became extraordinary parents. 

Alma’s life was devoted to being a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend. She was fully committed to God and her devotion ministered to the hearts of many through her angelic voice. She was a member of Faith Ministries Church in Denmark, South Carolina. She was preceded in death by her son, Anthony Blocker and her siblings, Azalee, Betty, Curtis and Georgia.

Those left to celebrate her memories are her loving husband, Clarence Blocker, Sr.; two sons, Rev. Clarence (Dr. Vickie) Blocker, Jr. and Lamont Blocker; ten grandchildren; eleven great grandchildren; sister, Albertha Blocker; devoted niece, Joyce Sanders; devoted cousins, Joann Hayes and Mable Peeples; adopted daughter, Willette Wise; children reared as her own, Yolanda (D’Andre) Kearse and Maurice James; daughter in law, Joyce Blocker; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

While we may not hear her voice any longer, we will forever remember her passionate love of music, her ability to sing any gospel song that came to mind, and most of all her connection to God through song. Her singing will continue to be etched in many hearts and minds forever!
