Mickie was born in Conway, SC on July 27, 1946 to the late William James Singleton and Alice (Watts) Singleton. She was a graduate of Socastee High School, where she excelled academically and played basketball. After high school, Mickie attended the University of South Carolina, where she graduated with a bachelor’s and then a master’s degree in Education. After earning her degrees, Mickie returned to Socastee High School and dedicated the next 32 years of her life to teaching young people Government and Economics. During her time teaching, she enjoyed being an advisor for extracurricular activities, including acting as a chaperone for senior trips to locations including Spain, Mexico, and the Bahamas. She also chaperoned French club trips to Canada and enjoyed the opportunity to practice speaking French. She loved running into former students and hearing about their lives. Mickie was an avid fan of all types of sports, particularly tennis. She especially loved spending time with her nieces Lyndsay and Hayley Musgrave at gymnastics events. She was very generous with her time and affection, and basked in the joy that giving to others brought.
