Wilna Wylie Lovett, 83, of Summerville, South Carolina, died peacefully on June 26, 2026.
Born in rural Rosemark, Tennessee, Wilna was the third of four children and excelled both academically and socially. She attended Erskine College, where she formed lifelong friendships and met her beloved husband, Dick. Together they began their careers teaching and coaching in Due West, South Carolina, embarking on a partnership that would span more than 60 years.
A devoted wife and mother, Wilna and Dick built a home centered on love, kindness, and faith. They raised their children, Tim and Beth, around a table where Wilna prepared delicious meals and love was expressed through quiet, everyday acts of care.
Over the years, Wilna embraced many moves, living in South Carolina, North Carolina, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and New York City. Wherever life took them, she found joy in creating a welcoming home, building meaningful friendships, and serving her community. Eventually, she and Dick settled in Beaufort, South Carolina, where they treasured being close to family and their beloved grandchildren, Henry and Olivia.
A faithful member of First Presbyterian Church, Wilna was deeply engaged in the Beaufort community. She volunteered with Second Helpings, delivering meals to families in need, and generously gave her time to Habitat for Humanity and many other organizations throughout her life.
As one of Beaufort County’s first Master Naturalists, a certified Master Gardener, and a member of the Sea Island Garden Club, Wilna delighted in sharing her appreciation for wildflowers and birds. She enjoyed kayaking, long walks, dinners with friends, and the quiet beauty of nature. Above all, Wilna treasured her family.
Those who knew Wilna will remember a woman of quiet strength, remarkable patience, and enduring grace. She possessed an uncommon gift for listening. Whether listening to one of Dick’s favorite stories for the hundredth time or giving someone her full attention, she had a way of putting people at ease. She embraced every chapter of life with optimism, from adventures in New York City to the beauty of the Lowcountry, finding joy wherever she was planted.
Even during her journey with Alzheimer’s disease, which gradually stole many of her memories but never diminished her gentle spirit, she continued to teach those around her to laugh often, appreciate nature, and treasure the simple joy of sitting together and holding hands. Her legacy lives on in the family she cherished, the friendships she nurtured, and the countless lives she touched with her generosity, quiet grace, and abiding love.
Wilna is survived by her son, Tim Lovett (Carson Bruce); her daughter, Beth Lovett (David Stickel); her grandchildren, Henry and Olivia Lovett; her brother-in-law, Tommy Lovett; and her sisters-in-law, Lynne Lovett, Linda Lovett Parker, Kay Wylie, and Martha Jo Owen. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, George “Dick” Lovett; her parents, Wilna and Melvin Wylie; her brother, Don Wylie; and her sister, Karen Wylie.
The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Agape Care Group and The Villages at Summerville for their compassionate care.
A graveside service will be held at 2:00, November 8, 2026 at Kingstree Memorial Gardens, 11091 Hemingway Hwy, Kingstree, SC 29556.

Dick Lovett, 83, of Summerville, South Carolina, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2025. Born in Kingstree, South Carolina, Dick was the son of George James “Deedy” Lovett, Sr., and Adell Ward “Mickey” Lovett and the husband of Wilna Wylie Lovett.
An all-star athlete at Kingstree High School, Dick attended Erskine College where he played baseball and, most importantly, met the love of his life, Wilna. Together, they began their careers teaching and coaching in Due West, South Carolina, and formed a loving union that would span the next six decades.
Dick had a successful career in human resources, holding a variety of positions in locations across the United States, always with Wilna by his side and invariably making friends and cherished memories in places like Ware Shoals, SC; Raeford, NC; Rock Hill, SC; Albemarle, NC; Kansas City, KS; Allentown, PA; and New York City, NY. After concluding his full-time career, Dick continued to consult for his former employer.
Following Dick’s retirement, he and Wilna settled Beaufort, South Carolina, a location that brought them closer to their family and beloved grandchildren. While remaining busy with a management role in their Bull Point neighborhood and as an active member of the Presbyterian Church, Dick was also able to pursue his passion for hunting and fishing, often with his brother, Tommy. For Dick, these activities offered the double blessing of connecting with nature while spending time with people he cared about.
More recently, Dick assumed his greatest and most important role as caregiver for Wilna in her battle against Alzheimer’s Disease. As always, he was dedicated, courageous, and unwavering in his support for his cherished wife.
Dick will be greatly missed and fondly remembered for his charming and infectious smile, his wonderful sense of humor that often took the form of memorable stories, and most of all, his ability to lift up and encourage the people around him.
Dick is survived by his beloved wife; his son, Tim Lovett (Carson Bruce); his daughter, Beth Lovett (David Stickel); his grandchildren, Henry and Olivia Lovett; his sister, Linda Lovett Parker; his brother, Tommy (Lynne) Lovett and many loving nieces and nephews.

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.
Flowers may be sent to Williamsburg Funeral Home.
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.
Online condolences may be sent to the family on the obituary page at www.WilliamsburgFuneralHome.com.

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.
