Jettie H. Haselden, 92, of West Columbia, South Carolina, passed away on October 11, 2026. Born on October 28, 1933, Jettie lived a life marked by steady strength, deep devotion, and a tireless commitment to the people and callings she held dear.

From an early age, Jettie’s determination and love of learning were evident. After graduating high school, she pursued college courses with the clear purpose of becoming a piano teacher—an aim she met with diligence and a sense of calling that would shape the decades to come.

Jettie devoted more than 40 years to teaching piano, sharing not only musical skill but also the discipline, perseverance, and passion that make music a lifelong gift. Her work reflected a strong work ethic and a resilient spirit—qualities that quietly inspired those who learned from her and those who simply watched her live with consistency and purpose.

For 66 years, Jettie was married to Oscar Haselden, Sr., building a life centered on family, faith, and steadfast love. She is survived by her son, John Haselden; her daughter, Sharon Haselden Clark; and her son, Oscar Haselden, Jr. She was preceded in death by her son, Philip Haselden.

Beyond her dedication to music and education, Jettie embraced the world with curiosity and courage, traveling widely and continuing to grow in new ways throughout her life. In her 70’s, she became a Master Gardener, a testament to her enduring drive and willingness to learn, even in seasons when many choose to slow down.

A woman of faith, Jettie attended Green Hill Baptist Church for many years. Her life reflected a faithful heart and a love for the Lord that guided her through both joys and trials. She will be remembered as a radiant, strong, brave, and caring woman—an inspirational wife and mother whose legacy will be carried forward in the lives she shaped through love, example, and unwavering devotion.
