Louise Dennis Herrington, 77, died Friday, July 5, 2013, at Carolinas Hospital System, Florence.
She was born Nov. 11, 1935, in Sumter County, to the late Bossie and Louise Logan Dennis. She was the fifth born of six children: Susie Sanders, Herbert Dennis, Mammie Dinkins and Frank Dennis, all of whom preceded her in death, and Eddie Dennis, whom she is survived by.
She was educated in the public schools of Sumter County. At an early age, she joined Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, where she remained a member until she was united in holy matrimony to her late husband, Norman Herrington. To this union, four children were born. One child, Alvin Ellis Herrington, preceded her in death.
After marriage, she became a member of Union Baptist Church. Throughout her tenure there, she served on the usher board, sang with the gospel choir, served on the senior missionary board, and was a member of the pastor's aide. She continued to attend Sunday school and Bible study until the decline of her health. She retired from Campbell Soup Co. in 1991 after 23 years of dedicated employment. She was a woman of faith. She loved God, her family, and her church. She taught her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren to treat each other respectfully and to always love one another. She would always tell them, "Be good now," when they would depart from her company. She was a member of the Friendship Ladies Club and attended Rembert Rafting Creek Community Senior Center. She enjoyed both of these social groups very much.
She leaves to cherish her sweet, loving memories: her children, Gary (Dianne) Herrington, Alberta (Leon) McDow and Malette Dupree, all of South Carolina; two stepdaughters, Ruthie Wooding of Pennsylvania and Barbara (Robert) Myles of New York; six grandchildren, Keyon (Desiree) Stuckey, Adrian (Tony) Thomas, Deon Stuckey, Tyrell Tindal, Kimberly Herrington and Daesha Dupree; her great-grandchildren, Alexis, Tyriek, India, Camron and Raegan; an adopted brother, Leroy (Beulah) Dennis of South Carolina; seven sisters-in-law; a host of step-grandchildren, step-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
