Carole Witcher, 80, passed away on Tuesday Feb 10th, 2026, due to declining frontal temporal dementia. She was a resident of Autumn Care of Marshville for over 7 years.

She was born in Exeter, NH, the oldest child of the late Richard W. Smith & Caroline Marie Underhill Smith. She grew up, went to school in Concord, NH where she met and married W. Donald Haugen in June 1962. They then moved to Charlotte NC where she raised her family. She found her way to Orlando FL where she earned her associate’s degree at Valencia Community College. She worked for many years as a legal secretary for a small law office in downtown Orlando and became a huge Florida gators fan. She married Lee Edward Witcher in Sept 1984 at their home in Orlando.

In 2012, Carole & Lee moved back to NC to be closer to their daughters and help take care of her mother. She loved to attend her grandchildren’s school and church events and any other social gatherings. She was known to her grandchildren as Nona.

She loved to sing, dance, laugh and have fun. She was definitely the life of the party. She loved people and never met a stranger - even in the grocery store! She took up quilting years ago and, in that time, has made many quilts for family and friends.

Carole is survived by her husband Lee of Wingate, NC, daughters Karin Gillespie (Rodney) of Gastonia, NC and Heather Kiser (Mark) of Wingate, NC, sister Elaine Smith of Orlando, FL and her brother Rick Smith (Penny) of Barrington, NH.

Just one story from my 30+ years in the funeral service:

She knew her husband had life insurance.

She knew there was a trust somewhere. A safe deposit box. Investment accounts.

She knew he'd taken care of everything. But she didn't know where any of it was.

No passwords. No account numbers. No access. So she searched.

Filing cabinets. Desk drawers. Old shoeboxes. His email, which she couldn't get into. His computer, password protected.

Three months of searching while the bills piled up.

The mortgage company didn't care that she was grieving. The credit card companies didn't care that she couldn't find the statements. The utility companies didn't care that she was overwhelmed.

They wanted their money.

Three months later, she finally found everything. The life insurance policy was in a folder in the garage. The trust was in a safe deposit box she didn't know existed. The investment account statements were buried in his email.

But those three months?

$12,000 in late fees. A nearly-destroyed credit score. And almost losing the house because she couldn't prove she had the right to make payments on it.

This is the third failure point. The silent killer.

Your family can't use what they can't find.

It doesn't matter how good your plan is. It doesn't matter if you have the best trust, the right beneficiaries, everything set up perfectly.

If your family is grieving AND scrambling to find documents AND fighting deadlines AND dealing with creditors...

Something will break.

********Communicate with your spouse about final wishes and where everything is. Have an emergency fund that both people can get to easily. Also tell trusted family/lawyer how to access everything just in case husband and wife die together.

Have yearly if I/we die meetings because things change.

I hope this helps someone or masses of folks that dont want to leave their family holding the bag when death happens. The death rate is 100% and isn't prejudice when it comes to age.

I got this from an estate attorney and thought I would pass the information along to help others................... Philip Tillman

I need to tell you about something that happened multiple times before.00
A man had been divorced for years. Remarried. Built a completely new life with his second wife. He was responsible about it too. Went to an attorney, updated his will, set up a trust. Made sure his new wife was the beneficiary of everything.

He told her she was taken care of. And he genuinely believed it.
Then he passed away. His ex-wife got $400,000.

I know what you're thinking - how is that even possible?
One form. That's all it took.

Twenty years earlier, when he first set up his 401(K), he listed his first wife as the beneficiary. After the divorce, he never went back and updated it. Here's the thing most people don't understand: beneficiary forms override everything else. in this case, your will doesn't matter. Your trust doesn't matter. Whatever name is on that beneficiary form gets the money. Legally. Automatically. No questions asked.

So his will said "everything to my current wife."

But his 401(K) said "everything to my ex-wife."

The 401(K) won. His widow had to sit there and watch $400,000 go to a woman he hadn't spoken to in fifteen years. And legally, there was nothing she could do about it.

This is one of the three failure points I've seen destroy families over my 35 years as an estate planning attorney.

Not because people didn't care. Not because they were irresponsible. Because nobody told them this stuff matters.

This obituary is posted as a courtesy for Bethany's sister and our friend Cindy Whitley.

Bethany Hash Lennon, originally of Fairview, NC (Union County) and age 60, was called home on December 7, 2025, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. Her resilience was nothing short of remarkable, a true testament to the fierce spirit she carried throughout her life and to knowing a great Savior on whose strength she could rely.

Bethany built a meaningful career as a passionate and gifted physical therapist, mostly for patients in rehabilitation following a stroke, but more recently for Parkinson’s patients. Physical therapy was a calling she fulfilled with brilliance and compassion until finally stepping away completely just a few years ago. Her devotion to loving and serving others was mirrored in her faith, as a member of Hope UC in Thompson’s Station, TN, and Thompson Station Church. Her life was a sermon lived rather than preached, yet it spoke ever so loudly.

Though small in stature, Bethany was mighty in every way that counted. She was a fearless and resilient Southern belle, kindhearted, steadfast, and unafraid to stand firm in what she believed was right. Her moral compass never wavered. She loved deeply, protected fiercely, and prayed boldly. To know Bethany was to know someone who would show up, lift you up, and never give up.

She was the neighborhood mom, the foster mom, the friend who became family, and the one whose door and heart were always open.

Bethany’s memory will be forever cherished by her loving husband, Patrick Alan Lennon; her loving son, Sam (Makala Marsee) Lennon; her loving siblings, Cindy Whitley, Mike (Barbara) Hash, Robert (Rosanna) Hash, and Larry (Veronica) Hash; along with a host of adoring nieces, nephews, great nieces and great-nephews, dear in-laws, and an world of grateful friends who were blessed by her presence.

Her story is one of strength, faith, love, and unwavering resilience. A legacy that will continue to guide those who knew and loved her. The care of Mrs. Bethany Hash Lennon has been entrusted to Spring Hill Memorial. To share words of comfort and condolences, please visit www.springhill-memorial.com. To contribute in her honor, please send donations to the Heimerdinger Foundation for Meals (https://hfmeals.org/), which provides healthy meals for all family members for 12 weeks following a family member’s cancer diagnosis, or contribute time, service, funds, transportation, or prayer support to any cancer patient in need.

Howie spent 4 years proudly serving in the US Navy and continued supporting veterans as a member of the American Legion and Legion Riders. As a lifelong mechanic, there was nothing he could not fix. He made friends everywhere he went with his huge heart and volunteered his skills to help anyone who needed anything. He was full of life and one of his favorite things was making those around him laugh and he never missed an opportunity to tell a dad joke. Howie cherished his fur babies, Cinder, Ember and Buddy and there wasn't a dog that could walk by without getting a pat. Anyone who met him knew how special he was and he will be missed by many.
