Judy Howle

Hartsville, S.C.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of Mrs. Judy Howle, age 73. Mrs. Howle went to her Heavenly Home on April 26, 2026 while at Carolina Pines RMC, with her loving family by her side.

Mrs. Howle was born in Hartsville a daughter of the late Lonnie and Thelma Rebecca Anderson Tyner

Today we said goodbye to our mema, mama and friend. The heart of our family, the one who held us all together in ways we didn’t even realize until now. She was the glue, the steady presence, the caretaker who always made sure everyone else was okay before herself.

She was a woman of deep and unwavering faith. Through every season of life, she stood strong in her love for God, and that strength carried all of us more times than we can count. She didn’t just talk about faith… she lived it, every single day, in the way she loved, forgave, and showed up for her family and those in need.

She loved her children and grandchildren fiercely. Not quietly, not halfway, but with her whole heart. You always knew you were loved by her. It was in her hugs, her laughter, her words, and even in the little things she did without being asked.

And she was funny, effortlessly so. She could make you laugh when you needed it most, lighten even the heaviest moments, and remind us not to take life too seriously. That sweetness, that warmth, that humor… it’s something we’ll carry with us forever.

Though our hearts are broken, we find peace knowing she is home, whole, at rest, and in the presence of the Lord whom she loved so much.

Thank you for everything you gave us. Your love, your strength, your faith, and your laughter. We will miss you more than words can say, but we will carry you with us in everything we do.

Until we see you again
