Mrs. Jordan died Tuesday, June 5, 2012. Born October 4, 1921, in Winnsboro, she was a daughter of Dr. John Hugh and Lucy McDonald Boulware. After graduating from Mt. Zion Institute in 1938, she attended Converse College. One year later she transferred to the University of South Carolina, where she was a founding member of Kappa Delta sorority and was very involved in student government. She graduated with a B.A. in English in 1942. Later, she organized many reunions of the Class of '42.

She and her husband, Leonard, were members of Forest Lake Club. She was also a member of the Dianthus Garden Club, The Club and book clubs. She was an avid Carolina and Clemson football fan.
While she didn't consider herself to be an artist, she loved painting family portraits and landscapes. She especially favored copying impressionist works by Claude Monet and signed them "My Monet."

Kirk, all of Columbia; ten grandchildren, Donna Jordan Conley (Bill), Mary Beth Jordan Beckerley (Shawn), both of California, Kelly Jordan, Will Jordan, Lil Fuller Mason, Susan Fuller, John Kirk, Kimberly Kirk, Justin Peterson and Sam Peterson, all of Columbia; ten great-grandchildren; sisters, Mary Martin and Lucy Anne Steele, both of Winnsboro.
