In early February of 2020, the community of Pendleton, South Carolina, was struck by the sudden and tragic death of a young woman. Twenty-year-old Hannah Spado, a resident of Pendleton, passed away on Thursday, February 6, 2020. Born in nearby Anderson on March 22, 1999, she was a student at Tri-County Technical College with aspirations of becoming an Emergency Medical Technician.
Friends and family remembered her as a loving individual who was an avid flower gardener.
Her life was marked by her devotion to her family, which included her parents, Katherine Nicole Meeks and Jeffery Louis Spado, and her young daughter, Remi Gracelyn Spado, who was 14 months old at the time of her mother's death. She is also survived by her boyfriend, Hunter Swanger, and numerous other family members.
