My deepest condolences to the Hinkle Family. She has been a phenomenal Mentor and a role model. She will be sorely missed.

My heartfelt condolences to Dee's entire family.  I was her assistant while she was Director of Corporate Reserves a couple of years before she retired. I enjoyed working with her. She was always kind and thoughtful.  Always looked out for employees and made you feel like family.  I admired her strong work ethics and how close she was to her children. Her eyes would light up talking about them, her grandchildren and her husband.

To Dee’s family - I had the honor and privilege to briefly work with Dee.  I was a new Internal Audit Supervisor and had the honor to see Dee in action.  I learned a great deal from her.  She displayed so much integrity, was firm in her beliefs and gentle in action.   She was just a wonderful person.  My sincere condolences to the family.  May she rest in peace.  

Our deepest condolences to the Hinkle family. May all your memories be a blessing. 

To Dan and all your grown children and  family, 

I am so sorry to hear DJ passing. She was an amazing person. I cant remember when I first met her, but it must have been early middle school.  We went to the Christian Church together, were in Girl Scouts, band in High School, and twirlers. She was very smart, and actually did her homework. Always pleasant, calm, and kind. We had a girl band in HS called Four Plus  One. I promise to post that picture of us playing guitars and singing. We had great fun. 
Delores was a special person.  Love her always.

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. DJ was a very dear friend from high school and a dear friend to work beside at JC Penney’s in Clinton. I enjoyed our friendship so much. Pam Williams, Class of 1971. 

Dan and family,

Jim Bob and I were so sad to hear of Dee's passing. We were fortunate enough to have shared many memories over the years including our boys in little league baseball and our girls being in Dee's Brownie troop all those years ago.  We also had so many fun mother-daughter trips with our cheerleading "posse" and shared so many good times with so much fun and laughter during that season of our lives.  Please know that our hearts are broken for you all.  I will always have a special place in my heart for Dee.

I was stunned to learn of Dee’s passing. So many memories of her and her wonderful family. From Dee leading our Girl Scout troop, to many weekends traveling for cheer competitions. These memories are priceless and I am thankful that Dee is a major part of them! 

I am shocked and saddened to hear of Dee’s passing.  Some of the VERY BEST times I have ever had were spent with her, these ladies and our daughters on countless cheerleading trips.  Prayers for all of you through this difficult time.  We love you Dee and your wonderful family.

So sorry for your loss, Delores was always the sweetest girl!
