Margaret Helen Gaddy Hamden
CHERAW – Margaret Helen Gaddy Hamden, 91, of Cheraw, South Carolina, passed away peacefully April 25, 2016, at her home. A service celebrating her life was held Wednesday, April 27, 2016, at 11 o’clock a.m. at First Presbyterian Church, Cheraw, with the Reverend Richard L. Young officiating. Visitation with the family was at 10 o’clock a.m. in the Church Fellowship Building prior to the service.
Helen was born January 13, 1925, in Morven, North Carolina, the eighth child of nine children born to Simeon McRae Gaddy and Emma Ethel Porter. She grew up in Wadesboro, North Carolina, and graduated from Wadesboro High School. For her senior year piano recital, she chose “Finlandia”, by Jean Sibelius. A portion of that composition was made into a hymn titled, “Be Still My Soul”, and will be sung during the service.
Following high school graduation, Helen attended Catawba College in Salisbury, North Carolina. While in college, she was active in sports, playing basketball, soccer, field hockey and was also the head cheerleader. College also provided her the opportunity to once again find her “Prince Charming” (and later, the love of her life), Woodie. They had first met at Cheraw State Park when Helen was a teenager and Woodie was a lifeguard.
Helen’s father was Sheriff of Anson County for many years and one of his friends gave Helen a summer job in his office in Raleigh. When Woodie’s father sent him money to come home from the Service for a visit, Woodie used the money to go see Helen instead. They were married July 20, 1946 after Woodie’s completion of his Naval service and began their married life together in Cheraw. Their first child, Peggy, was followed by Woodie, Jr. (Bobby), Dru and their youngest, Steve.
While her primary duty was raising children, Helen found time to sing in the choir at First Presbyterian, Cheraw, which she continued to do for fifty years. Her Church acknowledged Helen’s service by awarding her an honorary life membership in 2006. She was also known to balance a baby, or two, on her lap while playing bridge with her friends. When the children were finally all in school, Helen worked as a bookkeeper at Cheraw Primary School for four years to be close to her youngest, Steve. Helen was also devoted to the American Red Cross, coordinating its activities for more than ten years.
As her children married and most moved away, Helen and Woodie began to spoil 11 grandchildren, beginning first with Cam, and followed later by Donna, Mac, Ashton, Warren, Meg, Taylor, Chad, Stephanie, Holley and Alexa. Her granddaughter Meg has been her special caregiver during these last two years and was also a special caregiver for her “Papa”. Helen and Woodie’s grandchildren gave them 18 great grandchildren, ranging in age from 21 to eight, and there is also one great-great-grandchild, age two.
Helen loved to read and travel, enjoyed her Red Hat sisters as an original member, and also the Cheraw Singers, of which she was a founding member. She was known for her delicious chocolate cakes and pies which were always there for birthdays and special occasions. Helen never met a stranger, always had a smile on her face and never held a grudge. She believed in the Golden Rule and especially believed in the power of prayer. She told her children that she learned how to pray from an early age while watching her mother on her knees every night.
Helen is survived by her children, Peggy and her husband Steve Stewart, Dru and her husband Michael Penny, of Cheraw, and Woodrow S. Hamden, Jr. and his wife Kathy, of Conway. Helen was predeceased by her son, Steve, in February, 1996, and her beloved Woodie in June, 2015. The family also acknowledges with grateful appreciation the loving care provided to Mrs. Hamden by Joyce Price and Gayle Grant.
The family also wishes to thank the nurses and staff of Hospice of Chesterfield County, Alex Newsom, M.D., the Reverend Alan Arnold and the Reverend Don Rhyne.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Hospice of Chesterfield County, Post Office Box 293, Chesterfield, South Carolina 29709 or to a charity of the donor’s choice. Kiser Funeral Home is assisting the Hamden family.

Ms. Carmen L. Middleton
Carmen Lovette Middleton was born on January 20, 1969, to Patricia Ann Noble-Reedy (Ruth) and Olivette Postell Samuels (Linda) in Columbia, South Carolina. Carmen took her leave to be with her eternal father on November 16th, 2014. Thank you Palmetto Baptist Hospital for caring for our beloved so well as she went into her final rest.
Fondly known as Lovette, she was educated in the public school systems of South Carolina. Following her passion for facilitating the healthy growth of children, Lovette, furthered her education at Columbia College, focusing on Elementary Education and Early Childhood Development.
Lovette was an astute business woman with compassion and will be missed by her managers and subordinates at Advance America, where she managed for several years.
Gentle, honest, and straightforward, Lovette told it how it was, no chaser. Perceptive and insightful, Lovette was intuitive and knew how to have a good time. As a matter of fact, her cookouts were always standing room only and parking lot full.
Lovette's hobbies included cooking, baking, and most of all enriching the lives of her nieces, nephews, grandchildren and every child she came in contact with.
Lovette loved the Lord and shared her testimony of faith with everyone. It was not uncommon to see the aides, nurses, and visitors praying and saying blessing over food, medicines, and care before delivering those things to her. She invoked the spirit of God in everyone around her consistently. She fellowshipped at Kingdom Outreach Fellowship Church in West Columbia.
Lovette is survived by the love of her life, Mary Ann Clea, of Hopkins, South Carolina. Lovette would say constantly that Mary was the love of her life. This was certainly evidenced in the thirteen years they shared; and especially in the tender, loving, and tireless care that Mary took of Lovette for the past 2 years.
Lovette is also survived by her only daughter, Precious Michelle Dean (Melvin) of Columbia, South Carolina. Precious exemplified the love that only a daughter could during her mother's battle and stood front and center, at the ready for whatever was needed. Holding her mother's head to give drink, feeding her when needed, and simply sitting with her in silence, Precious will carry on the strength from the mother she comes from
Lovette leaves her commitment to be better everyday and her example of dedication to the belief in the value of our children to her brothers; Jeremiah KMT Samuels (Christa) of North, South Carolina, Olivette Postel Samuels, Jr. (LaShonda) of Columbia, South Carolina, and Gregory Arnold Aiken (Mildred) of Columbia, South Carolina.
Lovette leaves to live her legacy of passion, love, and Christian commitment to her sisters; Juanita Marie Williams (Tammy) of San Antonio, Texas and Tangela Tijuana Washington (Toni) of Atlanta, Georgia.
Lovette leaves her zest to live life happy, free and loved to a host of Aunts, Uncles, Family, Friends, Acquaintances, Doctors, Nurses, Aides, Clergy...
