Patricia Hankins Obituary

Patricia Flynn Hankins HANAHAN - Patricia Flynn Hankins, wife of the late Robert A. 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. Services will be held at Carolina Funeral Home & Memorial Gardens, 7113 Rivers Avenue, North Charleston, SC, on Friday, April 12, 2024. The visitation will begin at 12 noon followed by the service in the chapel at 1:30 and then the internment. Pastors Jonathan Cresswell, Mike Betancourt, and Calvin Walden will be officiating.

My earliest memory of Aunt Pat involved our family vacations. I guess I was near 5, or so, when we took a trip from Wisconsin to visit my mother's side of the family. We went to see Uncle Bobby and Aunt Pat, and received a bit of a surprise when she answered the door with patches over both eyes!! It turns out that, a few days earlier, she'd gone to sleep with her hard contact lenses in, and she'd scratched her corneas.
I know. It's a strange kind of memory to bring up here, but it's my first of her. I don't know how many of you knew her then. I think it was 1968-9.

From our family album at the lake. Pat was a beautiful, kind and sweet lady. So many wonderful memories there with her family and on the street we grew up on, Cochise in North Charleston.

Bobby and Pat were great friends of my family and members of our church Ferndale Baptist. We spent lots of time in each others homes in Hanahan. Had lots of fun at the lake and parties. Bobby and Pat with the girls were good times together. Linda Holloman Cornatzer Bennett. Praying for the family.
