  Obituary   Effingham Herald, May 20, 1998, Rincon, GA Louise Wendelken Hinley [Hinely], 78, of Rincon died Thursday May 14, at Memorial Medical Center from injuries resulting from an automobile accident. Mrs. Hinley [Hinely] was a lifetime resident of Effingham County, an Avon representative for 30 years, and a homemaker. She was a member of Goshen United Methodist Church and the widow of Vernon C. Hinley [Hinely]. Survivors are two sisters, Kathleen Fail and Juanita Rahn of Rincon; one brother, Stanley Wendelken of Rincon; two aunts, Mrs. Mary Sapp of Rincon and Miss Mattie Wendelken of Fernandina Beach, Fla.; and many nieces and nephews. Funeral services were 3 p.m. Saturday May 16 at Thomas C. Strickland Funeral Home, Effingham Chapel. The Rev. Tim Hemmingway officiated. Pallbearers were Paul Wendelken, Jody Seckinger, Robert Wendelken, Will Wendelken, Thomas Hinley [Hinely] and Richard Priester. Burial was in Goshen United Methodist Church Cemetery. Savannah Morning News, Wednesday, May 20, 1998, page 3C For more than 30 years, Louise Hinely was known as Rincon's Avon Lady. Thursday, 12 days after a car in which she had been riding was hit at the intersection of McCall Road and the Springfield bypass, the 78-year-old lifelong Effingham resident died from her injuries at Memorial Medical Center.....Nephew Paul Wendelken remembered Hinely as a kind, unselfish woman who was a devoted wife to the late Vernon C. Hinely, for whom Rincon's community center is named. She put aside her Avon sales, at least in part, to devote more time to caring for her husband as his health failed during the last several years of his life. "For the last year of his life after he had gone to the nursing home, she was at his side every day," Wendelken said. "It became pretty much like her occupation. She would go up to see him in the mornings and leave in the evening." She was a passenger in the car that pulled onto the Springfield bypass from McCall Road at about 9 p.m. May 2, taking a left turn toward Rincon. She and the driver, another elderly woman to whom she was related, were on their way back from visiting a relative in Springield....
