Eaddy Daniels

Mr. Eaddy Daniels peacefully entered into eternal rest on Friday night, January 10, 2025, at his home surrounded by his daughters. He was born in the Cartersville community to the late Henry and Dora Mae Daniels on April 5, 1927. After the death of his mother, his stepmother, Kate Samuel Daniels, along with his father, raised him as her own. Mr. Eaddy, known to some as “Sarge,” received his formal education in the Cartersville Community School. He was the oldest gentleman of the “original” Warren Street neighborhood. He enjoyed keeping up with the scores of various football teams. As quiet as he may have seemed to some, he was quite the jokester to others. He often kept you laughing when telling jokes while puffing from his favorite cigar. At the ripe old age of ninety-seven, he would provide unsolicited comments to the conversations that he overheard during his daughter’s telephone calls. When he was addressed about it, he thought it was so funny. Mr. Eaddy was a devoted and dedicated lifelong member of Mt. Zion United Methodist Church where he attended regularly until his health declined. He served faithfully as a member of the Older Adult “Seasoned Saints” Ministry, the United Methodist Men, and the Trustee Board. He will always be remembered for keeping the hedges at Mt. Zion clipped to a tidy and neat appearance; a task he took pride in and thoroughly enjoyed. He held membership in the Riven Rock Lodge #60 for sixty years and was recognized and presented with a pen in December 2024 for his years of service. Mr. Eaddy was a devoted and faithful employee in the maintenance department at AQ Mills on Byrd Street in Timmonsville South Carolina for many years. He later became the caregiver for the owner of AQ Mills, Mr. Quantz. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife of 73 years, Viola Sansbury Daniels; three sisters and six brothers. Those who remain to miss his presence and cherish his memories are his three devoted daughters, Mrs. Edith M. Williams of Timmonsville, South Carolina, Retired Lieutenant Colonel Delois Daniels of Columbia, South Carolina and Ms. Vilena Daniels of Timmonsville, South Carolina; two grandchildren, Jamohl N. Williams (Elaine Pilot) and David Daniels-Hester (Amber Mejia) both of Columbia, South Carolina; two great grandchildren, Malique Williams and Javion Williams both of Columbia, South Carolina; a bonus daughter, Joan Miller of Flushing, New York, a special son in-law, Retired Major Ellsworth G. Hester of Columbia, South Carolina; special caregivers, including a special niece, Hattie Sansbury and special nephews, Shannon Brown and Rashawn Brown; a special great grandniece, Paula Denise McAllister; special family members, the Sansbury family and special people who provided great support, Sammy L. Dixon, Victoria Beard and Dorothy Perkins. He is also survived by a host of other family and friends.
