From Mom’s heart:

Our loving Savior called out for his precious angel, Za'Hileghia Dominique "Rayne" McFadden, on January 29, 2026, at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. Although Daddy and Mommy wanted you here, God needed you more. Born on September 11, 2024, in Charleston, SC, to Brice Dwayne McFadden and Jessica Renne Davis McFadden. Despite her brief time on earth, Rayne's loving spirit touched many hearts.

God blessed us with the most precious beautiful baby girl. She always embraced us with a busy arm while tapping her big juicy legs. Whether we would catch her peeping at us when we looked away or bringing us joy with her big, beautiful eyes, every moment was filled with joy that will live in our hearts forever. Our “Rayne”, my daddy’s twin!

Rayne is survived by her devoted parents, Brice and Jessica; her siblings, Tye'Bryant Smith, Brizaisha McFadden, Peyton McFadden, and Brice McFadden; her grandmother, Ella Davis; and grandparents, Aaron and Lettie Graham. She was a treasured niece to her aunts Julia Davis, Etta Ellison (Fred), and Katie Lewis (Willie), and to her uncles Elder Joey Lewis, Rooselvelt James, Levern Davis, David Lewis (Sandy), Tony McFadden (Tonia), Michael McFadden, and Kevin McFadden (Jamie). Rayne's special bond with her cousins, Legend Foster and James Lewis, was evident through their shared laughter and play. She leaves behind beautiful memories and special video chats that will never be forgotten.

She was preceded in death by her sister, Desire Kelley; her grandfather, Elbert Davis; her grandmother, Ella Isiaha; her great-grandparents, Morrell and Luizer McFadden; her uncle, Brian Davis; and her great-uncles, Charles McFadden and Jonathan McFadden.

Rayne was loved by her favorite NICU Nurses, Tiffany, who nicknamed her “Bumble Bee” and Lily, who spoiled her with spa and hair days.

Funeral services will be 11:00 a.m. Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at Young Funeral Home, 210 East George Street, Hemingway, SC 29554. Officiating will be Elder Joey Lewis. Burial will be private.

Born on February 2, 1955, in Florence County, South Carolina, to the late John Burlon Bell and Laura Elizabeth Morris Bell, Edward was a man whose presence was as warm and inviting as the Southern sun.

Edward's life was a rich tapestry woven with love, laughter, and a spirit of adventure. He shared 48 beautiful years of marriage with his beloved wife, Mary Owens Bell.

Lori Ann Yarborough Coward, affectionately known as Lori Ann, departed from this world on January 11, 2026, leaving behind a legacy filled with warmth, laughter, and kindness. Born in Georgetown County, South Carolina, on July 15, 1971, to Raymond Ladell Yarborough and Linda Baxley Long (Windle), she imprinted her amiable spirit on everyone's heart.

Lori graduated from Pleasant Hill High School in 1989 and entered the work force, serving in various roles. Most notably, she served with Anderson Brothers Bank and worked for years in Food Service at Florence School District 5. Her journey was marked not just by diligence but also by the countless friendships she fostered along the way.

The love for her family stood as Lori Ann’s most cherished aspect of life. She was married to Marty Coward. Lori was a devoted mother to Lindsay Marsh Squires married to Darren, her favorite son-in-law, and sons, Seth Dwayne Coward and Stone Robert Coward. The joy of Lori Ann’s life was her grandson, Truitt Marsh Squires. To Truitt, she was not just a grandmother, but a companion and confidant known fondly as "Lolo". Her exceptional bond with her family extended to special family members whom she loved like her own siblings, Debra Vermilya (George) and Tommy Long (Connie). Lori Ann also held an unwavering love for aunts, Sylvia Disher, Jannette Phipps, Marsha Saxon (Richard), and uncle, Raymond “Tweety” Baxley (Hope), along with numerous cousins, notably Phillip Disher. Her lifelong friends, Michele Powell Cribb and Sonya Ard Marsh, will fondly remember the laughter and adventures they shared as “The Three Musketeers”.

Lori Ann will be remembered as a member of the Williams Hill Free Will Baptist Church. Her faith was resolute, and her commitment to her church community unwavering. Her enthusiasm for the Carolina Gamecocks shone brightly; she was a die-hard fan through and through. Outside the church and sports arena, Lori Ann's zest for life was evident in her simple pleasures. She cherished shopping, relished being pampered, and was always ready to share a friendly smile or a hearty laugh.

She was predeceased by her paternal grandparents, Luther and Colee Yarborough and beloved maternal grandparents, Raymond and Jimmie Lee Baxley.

Lori Ann's legacy is one defined by her humor, friendliness, and kindness. These qualities were the essence of her character and the reason she will be deeply missed yet fondly remembered by all who had the pleasure of crossing paths with her. Her light shines continuously as an embodiment of the joy she brought to every life she touched.

Wallie Mitchell Powell, known as “Boney” to those who knew him, passed away peacefully at his home in Hemingway, South Carolina, surrounded by his wife and children on January 12, 2026. Born on June 19, 1939, in Williamsburg County, SC, Mitchell was a man whose life was defined by his dedication to his family, his work, and his community.

Powell, Eddie Hillard Powell, Cecil Powell, Carey L. "Bunny" Powell, and an infant son.

Mitchell's work ethic was unparalleled, having retired after 30 years as a pipe fitter with D.I. Wilson Inc. His commitment to his profession was matched only by his dedication to his community, where he served as a commissioner of the Muddy Creek Ballfield for many years. Mitchell's service to others was a testament to his generous spirit.

Mitchell was a member of Ebenezer Methodist Church. His interests were as varied as they were passionate. He enjoyed hunting and fishing, taking care of his animals, playing softball, and collecting scrap metal. Mitchell had a vast collection of arrowheads. He took great joy in taking his children to hunt for arrowheads after church on Sundays. He especially loved sharing stories of when he was a boy and ones of his children when they were young. These activities were not just hobbies but were ways in which he connected with friends, family, and nature.
