Meredith Louise Hite Arnold, 88, of Lexington, South Carolina passed away suddenly on August 29, 2025, at her home while doing what she loved most – enjoying walks in her yard. She was born on July 14, 1937, in Brookland Cayce, South Carolina to the late John and Edith Hite.

Meredith was a woman of unwavering love, kindness, and quiet strength.

Her greatest joy came from being a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She delighted in her great-grandchildren, Donald Driggers, III, Karlynn Burgdorf, Raelynn Burgdorf, Madison Driggers, Willow Fairall, Lola Connelly, Elliott Worthington, and Jameson Connelly and found profound joy in watching the next generation grow. Her legacy of love extends to her cherished great-great-grandchildren: Donald Driggers and Saylor Driggers.

Meredith lived her life with a deep appreciation for nature and the simple joys it provided. She found her greatest peace in her own yard, where she enjoyed walking and reflecting on life’s blessings. Her sudden passing while in that special place is a poignant reminder of how fully she embraced life’s quiet and meaningful moments.

Family and friends remember Meredith as a woman of grace, compassion, and devotion. She was steadfast in her faith, generous with her time, and always willing to lend a listening ear. Her warmth and presence were a source of comfort to those who knew her, and her legacy of love and resilience will live on through the family she so dearly cherished.

Though she is no longer with us, Meredith’s spirit will remain a guiding light for her family. She leaves behind treasured memories, timeless lessons, and a legacy of faith, family, and love that will never be forgotten.
