Hallena Magnolia (Bleckley) Deal

North Augusta, SC....... Hallena Magnolia Bleckley Deal, born in Clayton, Georgia on January 20, 1932, died at 93 years old on March 12, 2025, in her home of 63 years in North Augusta, South Carolina. She was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years Raymond Deal; daughter Debbie Deal; brothers Lutz Bleckley (Bobbi) and Jerry Bleckley (Nancy); and sisters Sallie Beatty and Carlene Rogers (JM). She is survived by her daughter Terri Collins (Larry); her three grandchildren, Matthew Collins (Lauren), Nicholas Collins (Nikki), and Brittany Wisner (Cody); four great-grandchildren Grady Wisner, Magnolia Wisner, Cedar Collins, and Zipporah Collins; siblings Grice Bleckley (Pat), Cleo Fountain (Reno), Doug Bleckley (Ginger), Nathan Bleckley (Wanda); and many nieces and nephews. 

Lena was a beautician for over forty years, working out of the “beauty shop” in her back yard that Raymond built.  She and her “ladies” would solve all of the world’s problems, while being combed out or getting a perm. She was a strong and resilient woman, deeply devoted to her family and flower garden. Lena was a devoted wife, attentive mother, doting grandmother and great-grandmother.  She touched countless lives and had many skills, including cow counting, whipping up a meal from scratch “just for you,” meticulous dorm room inspections, and canning homemade jam and apple butter. Lena was a member of Immanuel Baptist Church.  

Lena’s family extends a special thanks to: 
Pruitt Health Hospice (especially Kristen, Robin, Tanner, Josh, Grace, and Linda)
All caregivers that cared for Lena (especially Doris, Shirley, Regina, Teresa, Connie, and Angela) 

There will be a celebration of Lena’s life at Rowland-Ford Funeral Home on March 15, 2025 at 1:00 PM. The family will receive friends at the funeral home from 12:00-1:00. Interment in Pineview Memorial Gardens will follow.  

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital.
