Linelle Sue Hite

Linelle Sue Hite, 72, of Batesburg, passed away Saturday, May 31, 2025. Born on January 7, 1953, in Columbia, South Carolina, she was a daughter of the late Jacob Ravenelle Gantt and Gwendolyn Hall Lucas. Her passion for life was evident in her love for over-road truck driving, a career she embraced wholeheartedly. Known for her adventurous spirit, she was also famously enthusiastic about Mustang cars. At home, Linelle dedicated her hands and heart to her garden, tending to her flowers.

She is survived by her son, Jamie Clark (Missy); her grandchildren, Tiffany, Shawn, and Hailey; and her adored great-grandchildren, Logan, Heaven, and Dean. Her fond memories will live on in the hearts of her siblings: Phyllis Wilson, Brenda Shore, Henry Gantt (Ann), Patsy Warren (Mike Malphrus), and Patricia Addy (Petie). Linelle also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members who will miss her dearly. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her daughter, Alice Clark; son, David Clark, and her brother, Jacob R. Gantt, Jr.

In accordance with her wishes, no formal services will be held. Linelle preferred that her friends and family celebrate her life in their own personal ways.
