Carole Elizabeth (Little) Partridge

Carole Little Partridge, 89, went to be with her Lord and Savior on June 21, 2026, at Westminster Health and Rehabilitation in Rock Hill, SC. Born on December 12, 1936, to the late Jefferson Turner Little and Ruth Martin Little in Tallapoosa, GA, Carole lived a life devoted to faith, family, and service.

A service celebrating Carole's life will be held at 11:00 AM on Monday, June 29, 2026, in the Sanctuary at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 1320 India Hook Rd., Rock Hill, SC officiated by Pastor Jonathan Taylor. The family will receive friends immediately after the service in Westminster Hall.

Carole earned a BA in English and Theater from the University of Georgia and her Masters from Chesapeake Theology Seminary in Maryland. Her career was marked by her dedication as the Executive Director of the Crisis Pregnancy Center in Newark, DE. A gifted performer, she graced many stages with The Brandywiners LTD in Montchanin, DE, and had the distinct honor of singing by request for President Dwight D. Eisenhower and First Lady Mamie at Reid Memorial Presbyterian Church in Augusta, GA. Carole would say “I sang for the Lord, and the President was there.”

Her deep faith was central to her life. She served as a Bible teacher and counselor and sang hymns that honored the Lord. Carole was a cherished member of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Rock Hill, SC, Sardis Baptist Church in Hartwell, GA, and Evangelical Presbyterian Church in Newark, DE.

In addition to her parents, Carole was predeceased by her beloved husband, Fletcher W. Partridge II.

She is survived by her sister, Rebecca L. Snow of Athens, GA., and niece and nephew; her children: Holly P. Hill (John) of Rock Hill, SC; Rebecca Jill Beatty (William) of Egg Township, NJ; Melissa P. Porter (Timothy) of Elizabethtown, KY; and Fletcher Whiton Partridge III (Denise) of Newark, DE. She also leaves behind 14 grandchildren, Emma M. Worley (Zachary); Jefferson T. Hill (Chana); Scott Clarke (Rachael): Katherine Monaghan (Charles); Olivia Nugent (Adam) ; Alyssa Beebe; Hannah Grace Harrison (Patrick); Mary Greenwell (Blake); Michaela Ruth Adams; Aaron Adams; Augustus Adams; Fletcher W. Partridge IV; Ian Nicholas Partridge, US Army; Abby Marie Partridge, and 20 great-grandchildren who will carry forward her legacy.
