Obituary
Angela Hinton

Willow Spring, North Carolina

Age 53.
Died 10/15/2023.

Angela Hinton
Angela “Tinkerbell” Long Hinton, 53, born on December 7, 1969, went to be with her Lord and Savior on October 15, 2023. Tinkerbell, or “Tink,” as many knew her, is predeceased by her father, William Joseph Long, and survived by her parents, Lloyd and Anita Kennedy, her sister and brother-in-law, Karen and Greg Harrington, her husband Chalmers Hinton, her five wonderful kids, Keely Wooten, Daniel Wooten, Kate Wooten, Chezney Hinton, Gates Hinton, and her dog, Tuxedo Bob. Tink is also, survived by nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, great-nephews, cousins, and numerous friends who were more like family.

Tink was a friend and mother to everyone she met. She was loving, thoughtful, loud – as many know, bickering was her love language. She loved to be in charge and was known for her fabulous cooking. Tink made every occasion special, over the top, and “extra,” widely regarded amongst her family and friends as the holiday queen. She loved the Lord, making a joyful noise with her voice, a good party, and making people smile with her craftiness at VBS, weddings, and other events while utilizing her talents for balloons, hair/makeup, coordinating outfits/t-shirts, and countless others. She loved her family most of all and no matter what she was doing always showed up with a smile on her face and love in her heart.

The Celebration of Life service will be held at 1:30 PM on Sunday, October 22, 2023, at Fuquay-Varina United Methodist Church, 100 S Judd Pkwy SE, Fuquay-Varina, NC 27526. The family will visit with friends for an hour afterward. Please do not arrive at the church prior to 12:45 PM due to the morning church services. To celebrate Tink’s vibrant personality and life, the family has requested lively colors to be worn at the service. Tink’s favorite colors were Carolina blue, purple, and orange.

In lieu of flowers please donate to an Alzheimer’s foundation of your choosing.

Immediate Burial

$2497.50

An immediate burial has the same end result as a traditional burial; however, we have eliminated the extra (sometimes unnecessary) services prior to getting to the cemetery. Not everyone wants an open casket for viewing or a limousine for the family. Despite the term immediate, we can move as fast as you need or as slow as you like. This option simply allows you to save money by eliminating some of the fancy extras at the funeral home.

Traditional Funeral

$6081.48

We offer the same traditional funeral services as the big corporately owned funeral homes in the area; however, we cost about half the amount. You might consider a traditional funeral service if your family is looking for an open casket visitation, a traditional church service or a funeral service in the funeral home's chapel. A traditional funeral service can be altered to fit the needs of your family.

Green Burial

$3033.75

This establishment is one of a select number of funeral homes who meet the criteria for providing green funeral service by the Green Burial Council; a tax-exempt, nonprofit organization working to encourage environmentally sustainability in the field of funeral service. Our Green options allow for a funeral to take place without the use of toxic and non-biodegradable materials/chemicals.

Aquamation

As an alternative to traditional cremation, City of Oaks Funeral Home also offers Aquamation. The Aquamation process, often referred to as alkaline hydrolysis, uses a solution of water and potassium hydroxide to facilitate natural decomposition.
