| HIST | of Sumter, South Carolina BLANEY A. COSKREY JR. Posted Tuesday, September 20, 2016 6:00 am Blaney "Sonny" Ansley Coskrey Jr., 86, died on Sept. 18, 2016, in Sumter. He was born on Oct. 3, 1929, and was raised on the family farm just outside of Summerton. He was a son of the late Blaney Ansley Sr. and Corinne Davis Coskrey. Mr. Coskrey was the widower of Jo Ann Benson Coskrey, to whom he was married for 54 loving years. His love for his family and selfless dedication to their well-being are reflected in his 37 years of employment at DuPont. He was a member of First Presbyterian Church. Mr. Coskrey felt most at home in the natural world, and spent the days of his youth hunting the woods and fishing the waters of Clarendon County. Some of his fondest memories were of the thrill of seeing his hunting dogs point, and of the sights and sounds of a covey of quail rising. He spent many summers serving as his family's fishing guide, making sure they were perfectly positioned to pull in the next big fish. One of the many enduring legacies he passed on to his family was his love of the outdoors. Mr. Coskrey sought out new friends his entire life. His warmth, generosity, and sense of humor allowed him to connect with people of all ages and from all walks of life. In his later years, he invited Purdy Street passers-by to sit with him in the front yard chairs and tell him about their lives. He also kept a ready supply of dog treats for his many canine friends. Surviving are one son, Blaney A. Coskrey III of Columbia; one daughter, Grace Coskrey Hawthorne and husband, Leland, of Central; one granddaughter, Elizabeth Hawthorne of Greenville; and numerous beloved nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by two sisters, Elizabeth "Titu" Rollings and Corinne "Dool" Vincent. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday at First Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Nick Cheek officiating. Burial will follow in Evergreen Cemetery in Summerton. The family will receive friends from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday at Elmore Hill McCreight Funeral Home. Memorials may be made to First Presbyterian Church, 9 W. Calhoun St., Sumter, S.C. 29150 or to the Nature Conservancy of South Carolina, 2231 Devine St., Suite 100, Columbia, SC 29205.
