Hattie Mae Egleton

November 18, 1932 — August 21, 2024

Mrs. Hattie Mae Kelly Egleton, the daughter of the late Mabel Kelly and the late Mr. James White, was born on November 18, 1932 in Pamplico, South Carolina. She departed this life on Wednesday, August 21, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Hattie was educated in the public schools of Florence County, South Carolina and was a proud 1953 graduate of Wilson High School. It was during her years at Wilson that she became a Licensed Cosmetologist.

At an early age, she became a member of Mill Branch African Methodist Episcopal Church in Pamplico, South Carolina. After moving to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, she became a member of Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, where she served as an Usher. She later became a member of Friendship Apostolic Church of God and remained so until her death.

She was an active member of the Wilson High School Alumni Chapter of Philadelphia for years. Hattie worked in the factory and janitorial industries for many years. 

In 1955, Hattie was united in holy matrimony to the late Mr. Clyde Egleton. She was a devoted wife and a friend to all who knew her. She never met a stranger and was a living encyclopedia of old school health remedies to many and a great source of information of family history to her family. She will be truly missed!

She leaves to cherish her memories: her devoted nieces, Wendy Moore and Maxine Moore both of Pamplico, South Carolina; a nephew, Eric Moore of Pamplico, South Carolina; two devoted goddaughters, Wanda Sawyer of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. and Renette Pyatt of Georgetown, South Carolina; seven special friends, Mrs. Anna Dora Andrews, Mrs. Lizzie Grant, Mrs. Alma Lee Davis, Mrs. Rosa Lee Brooks, Mrs. Bertha Wilson, Mrs. Missoura Kennedy, and Mrs. Roberta Scipio; and a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Hattie was preceded in death by her parents, Mabel Kelly and James White; her husband, Clyde Egleton; as well as her siblings which includes, three brothers, Mr. Manley Kelly, Mr. James White, Jr., and Mr. William White; and two sisters: Mrs. Leona Davis and Mrs. Wyona Jolley; a special nephew, Mr. Henry C. “Pete” Moore; and a special friend, Mr. Willie Freeman.

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, and I have kept the faith:”     ~ 2 Timothy 4:7
