May 2, 2024
Delores Fain Poe of Murrells Inlet died April 27. She was 88.
She was born Jan. 22, 1936, in Athens, Tenn., the daughter of Rachel Fain and James D. Fain.
Mrs. Poe was remembered as a true Southern lady who made her life’s work being a devoted wife and mother. She and her husband, Dave, lived in dozens of states through his work with Agri-Sales. They moved to the Blackmoor community 20 years ago and became members of Belin Memorial United Methodist Church.
Delores spent much time traveling with her husband and loved family vacations in the Smoky Mountains. Her hobbies included collecting antiques and dishes, cooking Southern meals for her family, working jigsaw puzzles, watching old westerns – particularly “Gunsmoke” – and watching Duke basketball and NASCAR races.
In addition to her husband of 66 years, she is survived by her children, Jan Rogers of Beaufort, Tracy Poe (Lisa) of Myrtle Beach and Sandy Oliver of Beaufort; her grandchildren, Erik Rogers (Chris) of San Diego, Alex NiHill (Ryan) of Longs, Lance Poe (Lexi) of Charleston and Annie Oliver of Beaufort; her great-grandchildren, Sawyer NiHill and Caroline NiHill; her brother, James D. Fain Jr. of Inman; her sisters, Linda Fain and Debi Moore (David) of Georgetown, Tenn.; and many nieces and nephews.
A graveside service will be held at 2 p.m. Friday at Belin Memorial United Methodist Church Cemetery.
