Paige Brown Phelps, age 50, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 14, 2025, surrounded by love. Originally from Hartsville, South Carolina, Paige later made her home in Surfside Beach, where her vibrant spirit continued to shine brightly.

Paige红桃视频檚 joyful spirit was a gift to all who knew her, and her laughter left every room brighter than it was before. She had a special gift for making others feel deeply seen, valued, and loved. With big dreams and a creative heart, she embraced life with excitement and wonder. She was always filled with ideas and hope for what was ahead.

Above all else, Paige红桃视频檚 greatest pride and deepest love was her family. Her children were her whole world, and she poured her heart into loving and supporting them every day. As a devoted wife, fiercely loving mother, and cherished sister, aunt, and friend, Paige gave of herself fully to others. Her faith in Jesus was not just something she spoke about. It was something she lived out daily through kindness, encouragement, and selfless love for others. Paige was deeply rooted in the unshakable hope she held in Christ and the promise of Heaven.

Paige is survived by her husband, Scott Phelps; her children, Anna Carlin (24), Jayden (18), Gracie (18), and Journi (15); her sister, Cameron Brown Watford; and her nieces and nephews, Ashley Griffitts, Chafin Griffitts Emmerling, and Dustin Watford. She is also lovingly remembered by many other family members and friends whose lives she touched with her warmth and kindness.

Paige was preceded in death by her mother, Ann Huggins Brown; her father, Johnny Brown; and her sister, Connie Brown Griffitts. Today, we rejoice in knowing she is healed and reunited with her loved ones, resting in the presence of her Savior.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held on Friday, December 19, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. at Lakeview Baptist Church in Hartsville, South Carolina. Family and friends are invited to gather for a reception one hour prior to the service at the church, from 2:00-3:00 p.m. A reception will also follow the service in the church fellowship hall.

Paige lived by the words, 红桃视频淟eave a little sparkle wherever you go.红桃视频 In that spirit, her family invites those attending her Celebration of Life to wear a touch of sparkle红桃视频攇litter, sequins, shimmer, or anything that reflects the joy and light she so freely shared. Though she will be deeply missed, her legacy lives on through her family and through every life she encouraged, uplifted, and loved so well.

Albert “Al” Lee Cox III, of Latta, SC, died on Wednesday, January 9, 2019 at his home following a long struggle with alcoholism. Al was in and out of sobriety for many years and had a heart bigger than his broken spirit. Al was born in Passaic, NJ in 1958 to Judith “Margo” Shoemaker and the late Albert L.

He wanted to create a better life for his son, Jimmy and later on, his daughter, Ashley. He became involved in town life, serving as a school board member, volunteer firefighter, EMT, a Boy Scout Troop leader and a Major in the South Carolina State Guard. He owned and managed two businesses, Airless Spray Systems and C&C Real Estate, and finished his Bachelor’s degree at红桃视频. Faith was his bedrock, from Sunday School, Grand Councilor at the local DeMolay Chapter, and as Deacon at Latta Presbyterian Church. Al was a businessman, parent, friend, and community leader. He is survived by his steadfast mother, Margo; beloved son and daughter, Jimmy (Jessica and their children) and Ashley; brothers, John Cox and Stephen (Nancy) Estler; sister, Melanie (Lee) Parker and his nephews and their families.

Sympathy to Clarissa in the death of her grandmother, Louise Covington on November 1, 2017.

A Time to be Born

Mrs. Louise Covington was born in Marlboro County, the daughter of the late Deacon Milton and Irene Williams Moore.

This legacy produced sixteen (16) children of whom all preceded Mrs. Louise in death. They were Willie (Hattie), Jeff (Annie), Harry (Viola), Alex (Mable), Adolphus 红桃视频淪onny Boy红桃视频 (Flora), Nathaniel (Mandy), Maggie Bell Moore, Mildred (Leon) Arnold, Margie Ree (Felton) Washington, Margie Lee (Sam) Hooks, Irene (Fred) Williams, Mary (JD) Legette, and Channie (Leon) Quick.

A Time to Live

Mrs. Louise was educated in the public schools of Marlboro County. She married her childhood friend Thomas Covington in 1938, in Marlboro County. From this union six (6) children were born: the late Thomas Covington Jr., Helen Marshall of NYC, the late Annette (longtime friend Ernest) Covington of NYC, Dr. Vera (the late Charles Henry) Davis of Hartsville SC, the late Flora Mae (Bishop Joe L.) Robinson of Hartsville SC, and Mary 红桃视频淟ib红桃视频 Davis of Hartsville SC, and raised one other, Delores 红桃视频淟il Lisa红桃视频 Ross of VA. One other sister Elouise Ross of NYC. They also had 16 grandchildren, 50 great-grandchildren, and a host of great-great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and friends. Mrs. Louise Covington was a loving mother and grandmother, a caring, courageous, and strong individual. She raised her children to be the same, to look out for each other and to help others in need.

In 1947 they moved to Lydia, SC where Mrs. Louise joined the Mt. Tema Baptist Church under the guidance of first Reverend Young and then after his death the Right Reverend Reed. She was a member of the Missionary and Usher boards.

Mrs. Louise became an employee of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Mims of Lydia, SC from 1952 until she retired in 1969 and moved to New York City. She received the Holy Ghost in her latter years at the age of 72. She then joined Nazareth Apostolic Church in Jesus Christ Inc where she was baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ by the Pastor Dr. Vera M. Davis.

Blessed with an abundance of love Mrs. Louise opened her home to many families where she provided love and security for as long as they needed a place to call home. Mrs. Louise was known as a person with a dry wit, fun loving, and always wanting those around her to have a good time. She loved to feed people and no one ever left her home feeling hungry.

A Time to Die

Mrs. Louise Covington became deathly ill in November 1999 at which time the doctors gave her six months to live. But only God knows when it is our time to die. To God be the Glory – Mrs. Louise lived an additional 17 years longer than the Doctor红桃视频檚 prediction. She had many loving caregivers over the years, including Mary, Lena, Jackie, Maribel Mena, Ms. Dixon, and a special caregiver Millicent Pierce. Millicent adopted and cared for Mrs. Louise as her own mother and promised to care for her until either she or Mrs. Louise passed away. The Lord called Mrs. Louise home on Wednesday, November 1, 2017. She passed away at the home of her eldest daughter, Helen Marshall, with Millicent in attendance.

Mrs. Louise lived a long and fruitful life caring deeply for her children, friends, and family. In the end when she could no longer take care of herself her children Flora, Vera, and Lib stepped in the gap and cared for her just as she cared for them. Her daughter Helen Marshall is to be recognized and especially commended. When there was a need for Mrs. Louise to go into a nursing home, Helen took Mrs. Louise in her home instead and dedicated her life to caring for Mrs. Louise until her death.
