“Be still and know that I am God” Psalms 46:10

On April 14, 2026, Hope Lawhorne entered the gates of her heavenly home after a hard-fought battle with breast cancer followed by a brief terminal illness.

Hope was the daughter of the late Katherine Mae Litchford and the late Joseph Howard

Mcfaden. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Carl Wayne Lawhorne, and a precious baby girl, and her sister, Darlene Campbell.

Hope loved the Lord, her family, and taking trips with family and friends. She was a Washington Commander and a Roll Tide fan.

She is survived by her daughters, Dana L. Harmon and Katina L. Faris (Mike); grandchildren, Mark Coffer (Courtney), Emily Ruble (Nick), Krista Lee (Steven), Ethan Harmon, (Jami, Josh, Jarryd, Rachel, Hannah, Emily); and great grandchildren, Riley Johnson, Hayden Lee (Axel, Branston, Gage, Krew, Sadie). She is also survived by her sister, Brenda Garrett (Hunter), her sister-in-law, Linda Siegla, and a host of other relatives and friends.

She would like to thank her family, her niece, Angie Palmer, for being a caregiver, and Linda Siegla, for checking on her and being willing to fill in.
