Mrs. Walters died Saturday, June 15, 2024. Born in Hartsville, SC, she was a daughter of the late Leon Hall and Mable Hatcher Hall. She was a retired Lieutenant at the South Carolina Department of Corrections. In the early 1990s, she converted to Orthodoxy, dedicating her time for charity serving as president of Philoptochos and Sunday School teacher at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church. Always smiling and cracking jokes, she was energetic and never met a stranger. She enjoyed spending time in her garden and baking. Most of all, she loved her family, with her great-grandson being her most prized possession.
