d. December 19, 2013
Lena Hardin Hinton passed away on Dec 19, 2013 after a long journey with pancreatic cancer. Lena was known for her unwavering faith, with a strong spirit and sheer tenacity which made each day possible.
Lena was the daughter of the late Trescott Newton Hinton and Mary Hardin Keitt Hinton. She was born and raised in the Clemson area. She graduated from Presbyterian College in 1974 with a BS in biology. Lena lived and worked in Atlanta GA. She was employed at the Sutherland Asbill and Brennan Law Firm for 37 years, where she retired as a Paralegal Specialist in 2013.
Lena had a genuine spirit of goodwill and compassion toward all people and pets. She supported numerous local charities such as, Atlanta Mission, United Way, ASPCA, Life Line Animal Project, Atlanta Humane Society and Guiding Eyes for the Blind. Lena was a wonderful daughter, sister, aunt and friend. She will be dearly missed by all and she has left an indelible imprint on each of our lives. All of us are richer for having known her.
