Introducing one of our newer Funeral Assistants, Mr. Randy Vaughn. . . more commonly known in our community as Coach Vaughn!

Randy Vaughn is a native of Greenville, South Carolina and has been assisting Peeples-Rhoden Funeral Home as a Funeral Assistant since September of 2025. Many in Hampton County know him as “Coach Vaughn” as Randy served several years as an assistant football and head baseball coach at the former Wade Hampton High School. Randy retired from Greenwood School District 50 as assistant superintendent of human resources in 2016 after serving in public education for 43 years and returned to Hampton. Prior to moving to Greenwood in 1990, Randy served in Hampton School District One as a teacher, coach, guidance director, principal, and deputy superintendent.

Randy obtained his bachelor’s degree from Carson-Newman University in Jefferson City, Tennessee.

Randy serves as Chairman of Deacons at Varnville First Baptist Church where he also teaches Sunday School.
