Dena Frances Driskell, 53, of Greenville, passed away peacefully Monday evening, November 7, 2011 after a brief illness.
Born in Greenville, she was a daughter of the late Charles Sloan and Betty Gantt Driskell.
She was a 1976 graduate of Eastside High School, graduate of Anderson College and received her BA from Winthrop University. Dena was very personable and made loyal and devoted friends throughout life. She will be especially missed by her faithful clients at BB&T.
She is survived by her loving companion of 21 years, Jim Farmer, of the home; her brother and sister-in-law, Chuck and Chrissy Driskell of Greenville; her sisters and brothers-in-law, Julie and Donald Cisson of Jacksonville, FL, Mary Lynne Driskell of Greenville, Suzanne and Tripp Hayes of Greenville; her very special nieces and nephews, Hattie Hayes, Kaidyn Driskell, Will Hayes, Turner Hayes and Wyatt Driskell; and her many feline friends everywhere.
A service to celebrate Dena's life will be 2:00pm Friday, November 11, 2011 at The Mackey Mortuary with the Reverend Dr. Jimmie Harley officiating.
The family will receive friends following the service at the mortuary.
Memorials may be made to the Greenville Cancer Society, 113 Mills Avenue, Greenville, SC 29615 or to the Greenville Humane Society, 305 Airport Road, Greenville, SC 29607.
