Glenda DuBose McLeod

Glenda DuBose McLeod, 89, of Florence died February 22, 2026 at The Methodist Manor. Glenda was born in Florence, SC on November 16, 1936. She was the daughter of the late Walter Brockington DuBose and Lida Newsome DuBose. Glenda was married to the late James Edward McLeod. She met Jimmy when she was 15 and he was the love of her life. Jimmy and Glenda were married for 64 years. Glenda graduated from McCleneghan High School and was a lifelong member of Central United Methodist Church. She and her sister enjoyed delivering “meals on wheels” together for the church- probably longer than they should have.

Glenda enjoyed working in her yard and helping her husband in their vegetable garden. Glenda and her family enjoyed many summers at the family beach house in Garden City Beach. Glenda loved making all holidays a magical experience - especially Christmas. She was an architect of family tradition and joy.

Three of Glenda’s greatest joys were her daughters- Libby McLeod Davis (Robert) of Lake Wateree SC, Sue McLeod Mozingo ( Derrick) of Myrtle Beach,SC, and Becky McLeod Windham (Dean) of Scranton,SC.

She was a doting “Granny” to her 3 grandchildren- Amanda Davis Jeter (Thomas) of Charlotte, NC, James Dean Windham of Columbia, SC and Dawson McLeod Windham of Garden City Beach, SC, and her great granddaughter Anastasia Claire Jeter of Charlotte NC.

Glenda is also survived by her sister Sara DuBose Barefoot; a special niece, Sandra Willis and special nephew, Walt Barefoot.

A graveside service will be Wednesday, February 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM at Mount Hope Cemetery.

Those wishing to make memorials may consider Central United Methodist Church, 265 West Cheves Street, Florence SC 29501 or The Methodist Manor, 2100 Twin Church Road, Florence SC 29501.

The family wishes to express their forever gratitude to all of the staff at the Methodist Manor for the compassion, kindness, and love shown to Glenda during her time at the Manor.
