Robert Frank Holroyd ("Bob"), age 94 of Lexington, SC, died on Friday, July 1, 2022. He was born in Greenville, SC. He and his wife of almost 50 years at the time of her death, Mary Ellen Findley Holroyd ("Smokey"), lived and raised their three children in Anderson, SC and in Lumberton, NC. In Anderson, they were members of St. John's United Methodist Church; in Lumberton, they were members of Chestnut Street United Methodist Church. Bob was a tenor in church choirs. He was the youngest and last surviving child of the late Robert Emory Holroyd and the late Mary Cureton Holroyd. His four siblings were: brothers Robert Emory Holroyd, Jr. and Reverend William Thomas Holroyd; and sisters Mary Lula Holroyd Powell and Martha Louise Holroyd Ellison. Bob's survivors include son Robert Frank Holroyd, Jr. of Oxford, NC; daughter Leigh Ellen Holroyd of Lexington, SC; daughter Mary Lisa Holroyd Castro and her husband Andrew Scott Castro of Gilbert, SC; and grandchildren John Robert Castro and Megan Nicole Castro. Bob was a graduate of Clemson, a US Army veteran, and retired after a successful career with textile company West Point-Pepperell. After retirement, he served as a Meals on Wheels volunteer in Anderson. He raised chickens as a child during the Great Depression and was an avid baseball player in his younger days. Later, he enjoyed golf, gardening, family trips to the beach, and creating drawings and watercolor paintings as gifts for family and friends. Most of all, he was a loving father and husband, and will be especially remembered for the care and devotion he gave to his wife Smokey during her long and heartbreaking decline into Alzheimer's Disease.
