Hankins, passed away peacefully on April 6, 2024, at the age of 77 under the care of Summerville Lowcountry Community Hospice House. Born on February 9, 1947, in Charleston, South Carolina, to Marland Flynn and Shirley Davis Flynn Graham, she graduated from Chicora High School in 1965 where she met the love of her life and husband of 41 years, Bobby. Pat, as she was called by all of her friends, was a long-time citizen of Hanahan, SC, where she raised her family of three girls: Robin H. McInnis (Randy) of Tega Cay, SC; Sharon H. McCuen (Robby) of Charleston, SC; and Angela H. Martin (Travis) of Goose Creek, SC. Also surviving are her 6 grandchildren; her sister-in-law, Sarah H. Flynn of Fountain Inn, South Carolina; brother-in-law Benjamin (Linda) Hankins of Early Branch, South Carolina; and many extended family including cousins, nephews, and nieces. Pat was preceded in death by her husband; her parents; and step-father, Robert L. Graham of Goose Creek; two brothers -- M. Alfred Flynn of Ardmore, Oklahoma, and Michael C. Flynn of Goose Creek; and a sister-in-law, Kay Flynn of Ardmore, Oklahoma. Pat always loved to entertain others and through the years the family hosted many pastors, missionaries, student groups, and friends for dinner. A highlight for Bobby and Pat included retreats at the Wild's Christian Camp and trips that were planned for Ferndale's Young at Heart group. She was a faithful servant to others and to our Lord who loved her family and friends. She was a long standing member of Ferndale Baptist Church.
