Pleasant; four granddaughters, Kim Coleman, Holly Patrick, Kristen Zayas-Bazan, Caitlin Boles; her niece, Robin Davis Dean, who was like a daughter to her and many loved nieces and nephews; and eight great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her beloved son, Rusty Haynes, brother, G. J. Davis, and sister, Effie Davis Freeman. Our "Darlin' Mamie" was loved by so many and she so loved each one in return. Her smile, her humor, her gentle touch for all who know her will be sadly missed. All her life she did her best. Don't grieve for her, she is at rest. What our heart remembers, it shall never forget. Memorials may be made to Roper Hospice, 1483 Tobias Gadson Blvd., Ste. 208A, Charleston SC 29407.
