Augustine was born and raised in Union, SC, along with six sisters and three brothers. She graduated from Union HS in 1952. In 1955, she married her husband, Donald, after he returned from serving in the Army in Korea. They had three boys, four grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren. In 1962, the family moved to Greenwood, SC. She received her degree in Business from Piedmont Technical College in 1983. She was employed at Capsugel as a quality control supervisor from 1965 until she retired in 1993.

All of her life she has been a dedicated wife and mother. Her primary focus in life was to serve the Lord. She has been a dedicated member of Westside Baptist Church since 1962. She was a leader of the Girls Auxiliary and the Women’s Missionary Union. She was also a volunteer with United Ministries of Greenwood. She derived much enjoyment from helping others and contributed much time and many resources to various causes.

She enjoyed spending her spare time with her family, especially her sisters. She also enjoyed camping with the Saluda Valley Sam’s camping club and traveling with her husband. They vacationed in Hawaii, the Bahamas, Niagara Falls, and many other places throughout the country.

After Donald passed in January of 2024, Augustine moved to Oakview Park the following month. She enjoys participating in crafts and other activities with the residents and caregivers at Oakview. Although Augustine is a somewhat shy and quiet person, she is very intelligent and quick-witted. She is an avid fan of the Game Show Network and enjoys watching tv while sitting in her favorite recliner. Augustine is a tremendous blessing to all of us.
