C.W. Driskell's Obituary
C. W. Driskell of Lithia Springs, went to his Heavenly home February 19, 2025 at the age of 94.
C.W. was born the youngest of four children to H.H. Driskell and Lydia Pace Driskell in Temple, GA.
Faith and family were the cornerstones of C.W.’s life. He was a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, as well as friend to many. Frequently dedicating his time and energy to others, C.W.’s ministry was serving those less fortunate than he. His generosity, love, and steadfastness in his faith will be a cherished memory in the hearts of those that loved him.
