Abbie G Bozard

Abbie Maida Guess Bozard, 92, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, December 3, 2020.  Abbie, born April 26, 1928 in Olar, SC was the youngest of six children to Frank McCarley Guess and Maida Lee Still Guess.  Abbie was married to the love of her life, James Bryant Bozard, for 72 years, until his death on July 19, 2017. They met in a two-room school house in Ravenel and were married while James was on leave from the Navy during WWII.
