Redell Blue

Mr. Redell Blue of the Union Chapel Community was born on April 27, 1953, to the late Ethel and Harvey Blue.   A loving father, a devoted husband, and a true inspiration to his children and family. He peacefully passed away at Glenflora Senior Living on August 22, 2023, with his family by his side.  He leaves behind many cherished memories and a life well-lived. He is preceded in death by his parents, his daughter Sherry Rene Locklear, and his brother, Keith Ted Blue. 
He leaves to cherish his memory his wife, Cherry Maynor Blue; faithful daughter, Tracy Blue Locklear (Timmy); and sons, Joshua Keith Blue, Marcus Howard Oxendine, and Mickey Jacobs; brothers Kenny Blue, Mark Blue, Terry M. Jacobs, sister, Wanda Blue. Mr. Redell was blessed with eleven grandchildren whom he adored: Kinston, Seth, Lydia, Ashland, Jacob, Christen, Caitlyn, Kyla, Noah, Hannah, and Lyndzie. His legacy will live through his five great-grandchildren. He also leaves behind a host of friends and family who will miss him dearly.

 Mr. Redell married  Mrs.Cherry Blue in Dillon, SC, in November of 1972. Together, they weathered life's storms and celebrated its joys, hand in hand. He was a remarkable man whose legacy of hard work, dedication, and boundless love will forever remain etched in our hearts. Mr. Redell worked many years as a foreman at nuclear power plants and as a business owner. He enjoyed teaching Sunday School for many years throughout his Christian journey. He was a true friend, helping others in need. His kind words and humble spirit created an atmosphere of warmth and comfort. 
 In this time of sorrow, we find solace in knowing that Mr. Redell is now at peace, reunited with loved ones who have gone before him.
 The Bible teaches us that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." Mr. Redell fought a good fight and is in eternal rest with the Lord. Today, we take comfort in the fact that he was a born-again Christian. We, the family of Redell Blue, are so grateful to God for pouring the blessing of His love into a father like ours.
