Hershell married the love of his life, Donna Rae Morgan, on June 23rd, 1957, and began his successful career in Retail Management with the Brown Show Company. After 44 years working as a Retail Manager, he ultimately retired from Dillard’s Department Store.
A true competitor, he loved to play and watch sports and was happiest spending time with his family. He was a great conversationalist who loved to joke and have a good laugh. He always had a nice word to say and a pleasant smile on his face. His calm manor and wit will be missed by his family and all that knew him.
For many years he enjoyed bowling on the Smithfield Baptist Church League, winning many championships, and as a Youth Baseball Coach he helped mold young boys into aspiring young men.
