What exactly do we know abut Dylann Roof’s mother Amelia?

First thing you need to know is that 57-year-old Amy Roof was born Amelia Hendricks Cowles on May 28, 1958 to Andrew Carson Cowles and Sara Davis Cowles. Her parents named her after her paternal grandmother Amelia Horton Cowles (nee. Houck) and maternal grandmother Pearl Hendricks Davis.

Amy’s father Andrew (b. December 16, 1920) died on October 1st, 1988 in Columbia, her mom Sara (b. May 11, 1921) passed away on April 4, 2005 at age 83.  Amy as we all know has one brother Carson L. Cowles (b. May 13, 1959) who is married to Tere Cowles (nee. Walker) and sister Susan Hargis (b.July 10, 1954) married to Clay Hargis.

Oscar Holland at Rosewood Baptist Church, the reception was at the Best Western Host in Columbia. Her husband Charles is the son of Paul Inman Brown and Carolyn Powell Brown of Gaffney.

Eventually Amelia became Amelia Roof when she got married Mr. Roof on February 20, 1988; Amy was at the time five months pregnant with their first child, Amber who was born on June 15, 1988.
