Herbert Edsel McCutchen, 87, was born on April 17, 1932 in Kingstree, SC and passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by his family on Monday, October 7, 2019. He was the son of the late Herbert “Chief” and Lucille Price McCutchen. He graduated Kingstree High School and attended the University of South Carolina and was an avid Gamecock fan the rest of his life.
Edsel served our nation in the U.S. Army in Austria from 1954-1956. Once he came home from service to his wife and baby daughter, he went to work as a manager for Durham Life Insurance Company for which he worked until he opened his own agency, the Edsel McCutchen Insurance Agency. At this time, he and his family moved back to their hometown of Kingstree, SC where he lived until he retired. Edsel was a member of the Williamsburg Presbyterian Church where he served as a deacon and a member of the Hut Sunday School Class. He was also a member of the Kingstree Rotary Club, The Lion’s Club and the Kingstree VFW.
In 2007, he and his wife moved to Columbia to be closer to family. He became a member of Shandon United Methodist Church and a member of the JOY Sunday School Class. Edsel could be found at whatever sporting event or performance in which his grandchildren were participating. Edsel was always considered the life of the party regardless of where he was, and was loved by so many friends in all the places he lived, including Georgia and South Carolina. He truly never met a stranger.
