Glenn R.

Bannister

Glenn Richard Bannister, age 72, of Williamston, SC, passed away on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at Rainey Hospice House.

Born September 27, 1954, in Williamston, SC, he was a son of the late Robert E. Bannister, Jr. and Lenora King Bannister.

Glenn was a graduate of Palmetto High School and Greenville Technical College. He was a certified electrician and worked with Proctor and Gamble for 26 years. He retired from AFCO as an electronic tech after 18 years. He was handy with any kind of tools and had the ability and knowledge to fix just about anything. He would often challenge his children as they were growing up to learn how things worked and figure out how to fix them on their own. Glenn also enjoyed yard work and restoring cars. He especially took pride in his 1965 and 1966 Mustangs that won several car show awards. Most of all, he loved his family and was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and brother.

He is survived by his loving wife, Debbie Hall Bannister; children, Heather Gambrell (Kerry) and Matthew Bannister; brothers, Bill Bannister (Linda) and Gary Bannister; grandchildren, Sarah Monteith (Graham), Emma Campbell (Gabriel "G"), and Kameron Bennett; and great grandchild, Sullivan Monteith.

The family will receive friends on Monday, November 16, 2026, from 1:00-2:00 pm at The McDougald Funeral Home. The funeral service will begin at 2:30 pm with Rev. Larry Baldwin officiating. Burial will follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, and because of the loving care provided to the family in their time of need, they would genuinely appreciate memorial contributes be made to Hospice of the Upstate, 1835 Rogers Rd., Anderson, SC 2962, so future families will be able to receive the same love and care.
