Joe Hanniford Obituary

Joe Hanniford SUMMERVILLE - Joe Heyward Hanniford, 78, husband of Juanita Freeman Hanniford, passed away surrounded by family, Friday, January 13, 2023. Joe was born in Kingstree, son of the late John Henry and Gladys Hanniford. He served in the US Army and Army Reserve before returning to civilian life. He was retired, but never stopped working and was an avid supporter of our country's veterans. He was a member of Miles Road Baptist Church. He was a former member of Hillcrest Baptist Church, where he served as Deacon for many years. He enjoyed being outside and working with his hands, but most of all he was a beloved husband, father, and friend who cherished spending time with his family. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Juanita Freeman Hanniford; children, Marcia (Don) Shue, Rodney Hanniford, and Cynthia (William) Rybczyk; grandchildren, Haley (Robert) Beverly, Seth (Grace) Hanniford, Grace (Mike) Weeman, Ansley Hanniford and Josiah Hanniford; great-grandchildren, Atlas, Rosemary, Austin, Ivry and Dani; sister, Margaret Stephenson; and many nieces and nephews across the country. The family would like to thank the members of Miles Road Baptist Church and Gloria Clayton, sister-in-law, for their support during this difficult time. The prayers and love of family and friends provided strength and encouragement while lifting us up in prayer.
