Roosevelt Price

June 4, 2020

There is a finer and much better place where peace, love and joy abides. On the evening of June 4, 2020, God sent one of His angels to Honorage Nursing Home and in the twinkling of an eye, MR. ROOSEVELT PRICE SR., affectionately called “PETE”, was called from his earthly being into the life which is everlasting. Pete was born March 15, 1946 to the late Mr. Bizan Price and Mrs. Emma Pompey Miles Price and was educated in the Florence County Public School System. At an early age, he joined St. Mark Freewill Baptist Church. He worked for several years in construction and retired as a concrete finisher. Due to his strong conviction and will to stay active after retirement, he built his own clientele for whom he provided landscaping services, as well as, taking his daily walks to the corner store until he had his first stroke. He was an avid sports fan who loved the Washington Redskins. The Clemson Tigers was his favorite college football team, except when his grandson played for the South Carolina Gamecocks. He was preceded in death by his grandson, Lonnie Deon Freeman; four sisters; Jessie Lee Blakely, Edell Robinson, Bernetha Sansbury and Evalena Lewis; two brothers, Raleigh Price and James Price and a step-son Curtis Lee Humbert. Those who will cherish loving memories are: his wife of thirty years, Rosa Lee Price ; four sons, Bernard (Michelina) Hickson, Hollis Queens, NY, Lee Price Roosevelt Price Jr., Timmonsville, SC and Michael Humbert; two daughters; Connie (Joseph) Fennell, Charlotte, NC and Teresa (Easily) Graham, Timmonsville, SC; a sister, Madalyn Dumas, Durham, NC; eight step-children; Harry Humbert, Patricia Dobson, Vondella(Thomas) Puguese, Larry (Lori) Humbert, Jeanette Humbert, Roosevelt Humbert, Walter(Yolanda) Humbert and Lee Humbert; devoted nieces Evadine Hickson and Trudy Bull; special friend Leroy Hamlin; a host of grandchildren and great grandchildren; many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.
