Obituary of Theodore Ronald Hatcher

Theodore Ronald Hatcher, 83, of Columbia, died December 2, 2020, at his home.

 

Mr. Hatcher was born May 21, 1937, in Rhodell, West Virginia, to Alda and Paris Hatcher.

 

He attended Stoco High School in Coal City, West Virginia. He worked for General Motors in Cleveland, Ohio for 15 years and then moved to South Carolina where he worked for SCE&G for 28 years. He was a member of Shandon Baptist Church, but over the past year he enjoyed attending services closer to home at Temple Baptist Church.

 

He married Ramona (Farrar) Hatcher, the love of his life, in 1957 and they enjoyed 63 happy years of marriage. He enjoyed working crossword and jigsaw puzzles and collecting and repairing antique clocks. Most of all, he loved his family.

 

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his daughter Ronnetta Griffin, son-in-law Tom and grandsons, Thomas and Ted; and a sister, Betty Solari.

 

He was preceded by his parents and three sisters, Juanita Peace, Marion Meadows and Peggy Vacula, and brother, Paris Hatcher.

 

The family wishes to thank Dr. Steven Minter, Dr. Michael Foster, Dr. Eric Horst, Dr. Frederick Smith, and Phillip and Gwen at SC Oncology for many years of compassionate medical care.

 

Arrangements are with Thompson Funeral Home. Due to COVID-19, the family will have a private service on Friday, December 4, officiated by Pastor Bill Wright of Temple Baptist Church.

 

Mr. Hatcher was a 63 year survivor of Type 1 Diabetes. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association. https://bit.ly/33HBGdO
