Obituary of Danny Ray Memolo

LUGOFF – A service to celebrate the life of Danny Ray Memolo, 75, will be held on Thursday, March 14, 2024 at 1:30 p.m. at Powers Funeral Home with burial to follow in Fort Jackson National Cemetery.  The family will receive friends Thursday, March 14, 2024 12:30-1:30 p.m. prior to the service at Powers Funeral Home.

     Mr. Memolo passed away on Friday, March 1, 2024 at Rice Estates in Columbia, S.C.  Born in Greenville, N.C., he was the son of the late Francis P. “Frank” Memolo and Beulah Ann Lloyd Parrott.  He served in the United States Air Force and was a Russian translator/interpreter.  He received his bachelor’s degree from Coker College and his master’s degree from Winthrop University.  He taught accounting at Central Carolina Technical College and was an accountant.

       Dan enjoyed comic books with Sgt Rock or The Haunted Tank (as a boy), playing with dogs (good or bad), Diet Mt. Dew (nee Pepsi), Parkers Barbecue, collards, yacht rock, talking (in general), watching NASCAR, watching Westerns (especially those with Audie Murphy or John Wayne), trips to the mountains of NC or Myrtle Beach, SC, driving around to see America, learning about history, planting wildflowers in the yard, and sitting on the front porch enjoying nature; however, his greatest joy was spending time with family and friends. He was as true and steadfast a friend as anyone ever had, was always happy to see you and met you with good humor and cheer, and was the type of fellow who left you feeling better than you did when he found you.

 

    Surviving are his wife, Amy F. Memolo; children, Renita Holt (Shane), Sean Memolo (Jennifer); grandchildren, Olivia Holt, Grant Holt, Morrissey Memolo, Atticus Memolo; and siblings, Peter Memolo, Paul Memolo, Bob Memolo, Andrew Memolo, and Kevin Parrott. He was predeceased by a step-father, Waverly Parrott and a step-mother, Jean Memolo; and granddaughter, Abbie Lin Holt.
