Floyd spent more than 32 years working in the financial industry. He was the last President of the Peoples National Bank of Chester. Floyd was a former Director of the South Carolina Association of Independent Banks. In discussing his career choice, Floyd said he went into banking because his father and grandfather operated a credit business at Elliott’s Market in Chester, South Carolina. After his retirement, Floyd traveled the world.

Floyd was reared in Chester, South Carolina and graduated from Chester High School. He received degrees from Duke University and the School of Banking at Louisiana State University. Floyd was a veteran of the United States Army, having served stateside during the Korean War.

Active in the community, Floyd served as long-time Chairman of the Chester Sewer District and Treasurer of the Chester Little Theater. He was a past President of the Chester Lions Club and Chester Jaycees. He served as a Director of the Chester County Chamber of Commerce and the South Carolina Easter Seals Society.

His church was important to Floyd, and he was a former Sunday School teacher and held many church leadership positions.

Floyd loved to dance. Even while he was battling Parkinson’s disease, he danced longer than anyone thought possible.

The family would like to thank the caring staff at The Palmettos Assisted Living Facility at NHC Mauldin and Caris Hospice. The family is grateful to Beverly Hailstock who was a wonderful and loving caregiver to Floyd.

Memorials should be made to the First Baptist Church of Chester, 102 Church Street, Chester, South Carolina 29706. Barron Funeral Home Chester co
