She was preceded in death by four sisters, Helena, Jeannette Crabtree, Margaret Evans and Louise Kelly; and brother, James E. “Buddy” Danielson; and her ex-husband, William George Hincke.

She came to Kingsport in 1937 and lived most of her life here. She retired from Heritage Federal S & L Association in 1988. She was a graduate of DBHS, class of 1947.

She was an active member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church where she sang in the choir for 50+ years. She also served one 3-year term on the vestry.

After retirement, she learned to play the dulcimer and belonged to two playing ensembles, the Renaissance Strings and the Bays Mountain Laurel. She did a lot of volunteer playing and singing at Assisted Living establishments and nursing homes. She derived much pleasure and joy from these activities.
