Mrs. Ethel (Hammond) Burrell

Mrs. Ethel H. Burrell was born on February 15, 1946, in Winnsboro, SC, to the late Eddie A. Hammond, Jr. and Cora Robinson Hammond. On December 4, 2024, surrounded by close family and friends, the Lord looked down upon the earth and said, "Enough, my daughter. You have fought a hard fight, and now it is time I say to you, well
done, thy good and faithful servant."

Ethel's unwavering dedication to her work was a testament to her character. She was a dental assistant for local dentists in Winnsboro and Columbia, SC. Ethel also worked in the business office at Fairfield Memorial Hospital, Fairfield County Schools, and as the meal site coordinator at the Fairfield County Council on Aging until her retirement in 2009. Her commitment and admirable work ethic marked her work, leaving a lasting impression on all who worked with her.

Ethel's love for her family and friends was as deep as her love for the University of South Carolina Women’s Basketball team. She cherished spending time with her loved ones, enjoyed shopping, and was an Order of Eastern Star member. Her 53-year marriage to her loving husband was a testament to her commitment to those she held dear.

Ethel is survived by her loving husband, Willie James Burrell; two children Ruby Copeland Lloyd and DeMetrius Burrell, Winnsboro, SC; two sisters, Edna Gladney and Bishop Louise Hammond, Baltimore, MD; mother-in-law, Ineeda Pickett, Winnsboro, SC; sister-in-laws Sheila Pickett, Winnsboro, SC, Renee Torrance, Marcellete McKinney, Renee Burrell, Kim Burrell, Dianne Burrell of High Point, NC; two grandchildren Kendrick Copeland and Kentierra Copeland, and six great-grandchildren; special cousins Ethel and Valerie Cook, Ronnie and Kay Sockwell, Hattie R. Huntley,
and Valerie Lopez; special friends Glenda Copeland, Joanne Holmes, and Jean McCorey; two special nieces Kayla and Karla Pickett; God son David Wilson one adopted son and grandson Kenneth and Kensley Copeland and a host of other relatives and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Eddie A. Hammond, Jr. and Cora Robinson Hammond; sister, Fannie Stevenson; fathers-in-law, James Pickett and James Burrell; and brothers-in-law, Walter Picket, Lewis Stevenson, Anthony Burrell, and sister-in-law Darlene Jackson
