Mel Pearson Obituary
We are sad to announce that on February 13, 2024 we had to say goodbye to Mel Pearson of Camden, South Carolina. Leave a sympathy message to the family in the guestbook on this memorial page of Mel Pearson to show support.
He was predeceased by: his parents, Hugh Melvin Pearson and Jessie Leah Hall Pearson; and his sister Gwendolyn Ann Pearson. He is survived by: his wife DeLaine Dobson Pearson; his children, Gwendolyn "Wendy" Pearson Brinley (Scott) of Farragut, TN, Lauren Pearson Hoffman of Savannah, GA and Jeffrey Melvin Pearson (Megan) of Richmond Hill, GA; and his grandchildren, Garrett, Ava, Landon, Miles, Leah, Elaina, Walker and Grayson.
As the City Manager of Camden, he helped steer the town through the pandemic. And he did this while battling a very aggressive brain cancer.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Bethesda Presbyterian Church, 502 E. DeKalb Street, Camden, SC 29020.
