She was born on July 23, 1919 in Estill, SC, where she spent most of her life. She was the daughter of the late Essie Peeples Batten and D. Wise Batten, Sr. She was a graduate of Draughon’s Business College in Savannah, Ga. Before her marriage to the late George E. Cone, Jr. she was employed by the Agriculture Adjustment Office in Hampton, SC. During WWII, she volunteered with the Red Cross as a Gray Lady. She was an active member of Lawtonville Baptist Church. She influenced many young women through her extensive work with GA’s and Acteens. She also taught Sunday School and was a member of Circle Group 1 well into her 90’s. She was an accomplished floral arranger and the oldest member of the Social Dozen of Estill, a sewing club, as long as her health allowed. Her hands were never idle as she loved to sew, crochet, knit, as well as engage in many crafts, especially with seashells. She contributed her handwork to various organizations such as Project Linus, Care Bags Foundation and Warm Up America. She also knitted caps for sailors in the US Navy, and lap robes for area nursing homes and the elderly. In Bluffton, she volunteered for the Self Help organization. During the years she made beautiful clothes for all of her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren. “MaMa”, as she was called by her family, taught us by quiet example that family is everything.
