Hettie Wicker Cross

Mrs. Hettie Wicker Cross, wife of H. Lane Cross, mother to Michele Knotts and Greg Cross, entered the Church triumphant on August 26, 2023. Her final moments were spent peacefully in her home in Columbia, SC surrounded by her loving family. Known for her generosity and servant's heart, Hettie will be dearly missed by all who knew her. She had many interests and was very active.
