HILTON HEAD ISLAND - Betty Harkins, 92, passed away Sunday, July 12, 2020 at Harbor Cove.
Due to the social distancing surrounding the COVID-19 Pandemic, a private burial will be held at Chatham Hill Memorial Gardens in Cheraw with a memorial service to be held at a later date. Dunbar Funeral Home, Devine Street Chapel, is assisting the family.
Betty was born March 3, 1928 in Cheraw to the late Donovan and Lela Beaver McManus. She had a long career working in administration for the SC Department of Mental Health. While living and working in Columbia, SC, Betty was devoted to her family members and was a wonderful caregiver to many. She particularly loved serving at Kilbourne Park Baptist Church in the nursery, always ready to lend a hand and rock a baby. After her retirement, she spent much of her time tending to her immaculate garden and arranging flowers for others to enjoy. She was a wonderful baker and you knew you were special if you received a tin container of her secret cookies.
In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her brother William D. McManus, Sr. (Susan), brother-in-law William S. Minter II, and nephew William D. McManus Jr.
Survivors include her sister, Beverly McManus Minter of Columbia, SC; her nephews, Aubrey David McManus (Susan) of Fuquay Varina, NC and William S Minter III of Hilton Head Island, SC; two nieces, Susan McManus Rush (Scott) of Randleman, NC and Susan N. Deeb (Robert) of Hilton Head Island, SC; a grand-niece, Lauren Susan McManus of Cary, NC; and 5 grand-nephews, Bryan Donovan McManus of Greenville, SC, Mark Howell (Morey) of Charlotte, NC, William S Minter IV, of Charleston, SC; John R. Minter and Dylan R. Deeb both of Hilton Head Island, SC.
