Edward Jackson Copeland, of Ehrhardt, entered into eternal rest September 28, 2008 in Walterboro.
He was a son of the late Laurie Wingard Copeland, Sr. and Deborah Zeigler Copeland.
Mr. Copeland graduated from Ehrhardt High School and attended Clemson Military College. He served his country honorably as a Sergeant in the Army Air Corps from 1942 until 1947. He then returned home and made farming his career, a job he faithfully loved for 50 years.
He and his wife Betty were married for 35 years before her death in 2005, her death left many cherished memories of the times and activities they shared. Jack, as he was known by all, will be remembered for his good nature to others, never meeting anyone that was a stranger, and always sharing and doing what he could for others. We will cherish his memory for his love of cows and especially his donkeys.
He was the widower of Elizabeth Betty (Robertson) Copeland and surviving are: step-daughters, Coleen Gray Baker and husband, Dr. J. David Baker, III of Charleston and Joette Gray Hiers and husband William Carroll Hiers of Ehrhardt; brother-in-law, B.W.
