Deloris Anne Raines
November 18, 1945 — September 16, 2020
Deloris Anne Raines, 74, of Mount Pleasant, SC, wife of the late George Max Raines entered into eternal rest Wednesday, September 16, 2020.
Born in Lakeland, Florida on November 18, 1945, Anne was the daughter of Arthur Wesley Ward and Esther Luker Ward.
She is survived by her daughter, Sarah Raines Taylor, son in-law Winthrop Ely Taylor, brother, James William Ward, sister, Mary Catherine Cothran, step mother, Mary 'Glynnie' Ward and two grandchildren, Grayson Raines Taylor and Jacob Winthrop Taylor. She preceded her death by her brother Harry Alfred Ward, Arthur Wesley Ward Jr. and Ruth Esther Ward.
Anne was a graduate of Salem College where she earned her teaching certificate in English. Anne was known to others as a spirited, feisty woman who loved her friends and family deeply. "Mama Raines", as she was called by so many, was a passionate educator and spent 20 years in the classroom teaching English and "true life skills". Her Friday Speech was legendary and provided her students much needed guidance on how to handle life. She was also known for her candid approach to all things and never spared the truth- "You will always know what I am thinking". She volunteered for the Island Turtle Team helping to keep the beaches clean for nesting turtles as well as working with East Cooper Meals on Wheels to provide meals to people in need. Anne was a lion of a woman with a heart of a kitten and will be greatly missed by so many.
A Celebration of Life will be taking place at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her honor can be made to East Cooper Meals on Wheels, ecmow.org, or a charity of your choice that would honor this amazing woman.
The beauty of the ever turning cycle of time is the promise of a new day. Make each one count and live in the moment.
