Hanahan - Larry Thomas Driggers, 78, of Hanahan, SC, was called home to heaven on January 29, 2026, while at home surrounded by his loving family. Born on August 5, 1947, in Charleston, SC, to parents Dorothy (Dot) Dora and (AT) Arthur Thomas Driggers. He grew up in Park Circle, N. Charleston until 1969 when he married the love of his life, Sallie Jane Garvin Driggers. He and Sallie raised three children, Tad, Jacob, and Ramey, in Hanahan, SC. Larry worked as an accountant at The Navy Shipyard for 26 years, where he was fondly known as "The Auditor Man" retiring in 1995. For most of his life Larry cherished time in the North Carolina mountains, especially Camp Crestridge and Ridgecrest. He volunteered for many summers and became a familiar, welcoming presence. Hosting family and friends at Tad's Cabin was one of his greatest joys. Larry was a faithful member of Highland Park Baptist Church, serving in many roles with a willing heart. He treasured time with his grandchildren, especially Sunday dinners, sports games, and working on projects together. Larry is survived by his beloved wife of 56 years Sallie; son, Jacob (Isabel); daughter, Ramey Driggers-Schutz; his sister, Alivia Stancil (Jerry); Grandchildren: Willa, Abbott, and Eva Schutz, as well as Corbin, Palmer, and Rowan Driggers.
