Daisy Luella Treece Hartin

Daisy Luella Treece Hartin, 77, of West Columbia, passed away peacefully on Saturday December 20, 2025. She was born in Columbia, South Carolina on August 26, 1948 and was the daughter of the late Margaret Luella Gibson Treece and David Glen Treece. She married the love of her life, James Michael Hartin, on August 2, 1997.

Daisy graduated from Dreher High School and worked for AT&T in Operator Services until her retirement. She was best known for her fiery red hair, which perfectly matched her “life of the party” personality. Daisy loved hosting family gatherings for Thanksgiving, Christmas, graduations, and birthdays. She also enjoyed attending Gamecock football games and tailgating with friends and family.

After retiring from AT&T, Daisy enjoyed gardening classes at Midlands Technical College and vacationing at Edisto Beach with Jim. She especially cherished time spent with friends and family–whether they were visiting, coming for dinner, or swimming in her pool.

She was preceded in death by her husband, James “Jim” Michael Hartin; her sisters, Betty Wallace, Patsy Keels, Glenna Lovell, and Myrtle “Tuggie” Lowman; and her great-nephew Joshua Wylie Treece.

She is survived by her nieces and nephews: David Wallace (Virginia), Patsy Tanner (Phil), Gloria Whitehead (John), Barbara Loftis (Wendell), Pattie Mikell (David), Johnny Treece (Dawn), Penny Treece, Troy Lowman (Karan), Maggie Lowman, Craig Lowman (Carolyn); her stepchildren, Elaine Hartin, Ashley Hartin (Karen), Jamie Hartin (Tracy); great-nieces and great-nephews: Janine Mikell, Melanie Yoder (David), Caleb Treece, Trey Moss, Cameron Moss, Tiffany George, Harrington Lowman, Hampton Lowman, Haines Lowman; her great-great nieces and nephews; Harper, Hudson, Grayson, Elia, Story; and her step-grandchildren: Grey, Madeleine, Audrey, Andrew, Emilee, and Caroline.

A graveside service will be held at 1:00 pm on Friday, January 30, 2026 at Elmwood Cemetery, 501 Elmwood Avenue, Columbia SC 29201.
