Memorials
For those who wish to send a memorial the family asks that donations be made in Doug’s memory to The Arc of the United States online at www.thearc.org. , continuing his lifelong commitment to advocating for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Douglas “Mac” McArthur Edgeworth, 84, husband of Jenny Mishoe Edgeworth, passed away on October 14, 2026, at MUSC Health Black River Medical Center in Cades, South Carolina.
Doug was born March 28, 1942, in Scranton, South Carolina, to the late Leoard Hayes Edgeworth and Dulah Austeen Todd Edgeworth. His life was defined by faith, family, service to others, hard work, and an unwavering belief that every person deserved to be treated with dignity and respect.
Doug retired from Firestone after more than 30 years of dedicated service. His commitment to helping others extended far beyond his career. He was a passionate advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities and served as President of The Arc of Nash County, North Carolina. Doug believed deeply in helping people find a way forward—not simply offering a handout, but giving a hand up while preserving a person’s dignity.
A faithful man who loved God and his family, Doug was a member of Kingstree First Pentecostal Holiness Church. His faith guided the way he lived, the way he treated others, and the way he cared for the people around him.
Doug was also an avid photographer with a particular love for photographing barns. His work appeared in Barns Across America through the Smithsonian. He was also the published author of Gryphons of the Sandhills, a natural storyteller, and—at least according to Doug—quite the comedian. Doug also loved learning about family genealogy and spent countless hours working alongside his niece, Lisa Monroy, mapping the Edgeworth bloodline.
Above everything else, Doug loved his family.
To most, he was Doug, but to his brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews, he was simply Mac—a name connected to family, history, and the people who had known and loved him the longest.
He had a special place in his heart for all 28 of his nieces and nephews, and they held an equally special place in his life.
Doug’s love for family extended far beyond those related to him by blood. Over the years, he opened his home and his heart to many of his children’s friends, becoming a steady presence, mentor, protector, and, in many ways, a second father to more young people than could ever be counted. If you were one of the kids who found your way into the Edgeworth home, chances are Doug made room for you, looked out for you, and treated you like one of his own.
Doug was a protector, a provider, and a steady presence for those who depended on him. He was quiet by nature, but he carried a strength and presence that did not require many words. He was kind, generous, resilient, fiercely loyal, and devoted to the people he loved.
He believed family came first. He believed a person was only as good as their name and their word, and he believed every person deserved to be treated with dignity and respect.
His outlook yielded respect throughout. His compassion endured, spanning years.
Doug was loved by many and truly a stranger to none. He had a way of making people feel seen, valued, and welcomed, whether he had known them for decades or had only just met them.
He is survived by his wife of 23 years, Jenny Mishoe Edgeworth; his children, Mark Bain and wife Amy Bain of Hallandale, Florida; Douglas L. Edgeworth and wife Christine Edgeworth of Halethorpe, Maryland; Carter H. Edgeworth and wife Kate Schulze of Elkridge, Maryland; and Amanda C. Edgeworth and partner Joe Hyla III of Ingleside, Maryland; and his adopted grandchildren, Gregory Palicios and Brittany Palicios.
He is also survived by his siblings, Faye Collins, Jane Guthrie, Marceline Allen, Don Edgeworth, and Nancy Calcutt; his brother-in-law, Ed J. Mishoe; his 28 nieces and nephews; and many extended family members and friends whose lives were made better simply because Doug was part of them.
Doug was preceded in death by his wife, Corinne Phillips Edgeworth; his parents, Leoard and Dulah Edgeworth of Scranton, South Carolina; his mother-in-law, LouDell Mishoe; and his brothers and sisters, Genelle Lee, Norman Edgeworth, Charles Edgeworth, L.H. Edgeworth, and Marilla Anne Sweat.
Doug leaves behind far more than a list of accomplishments. He leaves behind a legacy of faith, loyalty, kindness, generosity, advocacy, and devotion to family.
Those who knew him will remember his stories, his humor, his photographs, his willingness to stand up for others, his unwavering faith, and most of all, the way he loved his family.
Funeral services for Doug will be held at 12: 00 PM, Monday, October 19, 2026, at Williamsburg Funeral Home in Kingstree, SC. Doug’s family will receive family and friends beginning at 11:00 AM just prior to the service.

Deborah “Debbie” McCollough Burrows, 71, beloved wife of Leon Joseph “Joe” Burrows, died Saturday, October 3, 2026, at McLeod Hospice House surrounded by her family.
Debbie was born October 19, 1954, in Charleston, SC, a daughter of Fay Louise Georgia McCollough Petrovitz and the late Edward Gordon McCollough. She was a graduate of Williamsburg Academy and Francis Marion College, where she received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. Debbie was a lifelong member of Union Presbyterian Church in Salters.
She grew up in Salters, SC surrounded by nature, friends, and family. Debbie inherited her creative nature from her mother Faye, and like her mother, she shared her passion and talent with the people around her. Her students at Greeleyville Elementary School were the first beneficiaries of her talent and creativity. Later when she taught at C.E. Murray High School, her passion fueled a new generation of artists and students who went on to become art teachers themselves. Her creativity didn’t end with just canvas and paint. Her home, including her yard, were her canvases and she created beauty there. While Debbie found great joy in her creativity and teaching, her greatest joy was her family. She loved her husband, children, and grandchildren more than anything in this world. She treasured every moment spent with them and took great pride in their lives and accomplishments. Her three grandchildren, Trystan, Rowdy, and Hunter, held an especially special place in her heart. They brought her endless happiness, and being their grandmother was one of the greatest blessings of her life. She adored each of them and was incredibly proud of the people they were becoming.
In addition to her mother Fay and her husband Joe, Debbie is survived by: her son, Kent (Janalee) Burrows of Salters; her daughter, Tanna (Charles) Grantham of Florence; her adored grandchildren, Trystan Burrows, Rowdy Burrows, and Hunter Grantham; her sister, Georgia (Rob) Kincaid; her brother, Edward “Eddie” (Jorge Mendez Collazo) McCollough; her stepfather, Joe Petrovitz; a niece and two nephews, and many cherished cousins.
