Edmund

Perrow, Sr.

Edmund Wingfield Perrow, Sr., age 81, passed away peacefully, surrounded by family on November 3,2026 at his home in Lancaster County, South Carolina.

He was born July 28,1945 in Lynchburg, Virginia to the late Mosby Garland Perrow, Jr. and Katherine Duane Wingfield Perrow.

In addition to his parents, Edmund was preceded in death by his wife, the love of his life, Martha Frances Spencer Perrow. Edmund and Martha would live the blessing of 59 years in covenant marriage.

Through his school years Edmund proved to be a natural athlete and prominent multi-sport standout leaving a lasting mark on E.C. Glass High School’s historical field event records. Continuing his high school education at Woodberry Forest (class of 1964), he was a starting wide receiver on the Woodberry varsity football team. Following Woodberry, Ed attended the University of Virginia where he continued his athletic career playing basketball for the Cavaliers. Over the course of his entire life Edmund treasured the bonds of brotherhood that were created through these early years and would reminisce about the ‘glory days’ with a twinkle in his eye.

Edmund owned and operated Piedmont Supply Company for several years before moving into the commercial furniture industry.

Edmund enjoyed his career in commercial furniture and cherished the relationships he built and nurtured along the way.

As native Virginians, Edmund and Martha made a ‘later in life’ relocation to South Carolina so they could be close to their grandchildren. They could not have foreseen the blessing of community they would come to know and love there. Edmund quickly got involved with a nearby hunt club where he enjoyed meaningful and deeply impactful friendships with so many, also served as a director on the Cane Creek Watershed Board, and was a member of Second Baptist Church of Lancaster where he was a devoted life group member and participated in teaching.

Edmund is survived by his children, Edmund Wingfield Perrow, Jr., Elizabeth Perrow Crutchfield (Scott), and Langhorne Stuart Perrow (Zack); six grandchildren, Edmund Wingfield Perrow III (Katherine), Annalee Sevaan Perrow, Branham Crutchfield Smith (Brad), Frances Katherine Crutchfield, Ann Langhorne Crutchfield, and Grace Scott Crutchfield; and three great grandchildren, Frances Keller Perrow, Bradley Ellen Smith, and Elizabeth Spencer Smith.

Edmund is also survived by his brother, Mosby Garland Perrow III (Holly), and his sister, Duane Perrow Nelligan (the late Wistar).

Edmund was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend who touched the lives of those he knew. He will be remembered for his devotion and adoration of his family, his great love and honor for others, and how he deeply valued the exchange of life with every person he came to know.

We are comforted knowing Edmund is at home with The Lord, reunited with Martha and with The God he spent his life serving wholeheartedly. Edmund was a beautiful reflection of Christ’s love and for this we give our thanks.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 21,2026, at 11:00am at Second Baptist Church, 1426 Great Falls Road, Lancaster, South Carolina. The family will receive friends immediately following the service at the church.
