Donald Bloxham

Donald Rawlings Bloxham, Sr., 91, formerly of Duncan, South Carolina passed away on Sunday, June 6, 2021, in his home with his wife and two sons by his side. Born in Webster, Massachusetts, he was the son of the late Harold Carlton Bloxham and Marion Rawlings Bloxham and the brother of the late Harold and Arthur Bloxham.
