Jacqueline Collingwood Watford

Jacqueline Collingwood Watford FORT MILL Jacqueline Collingwood Watford, 79, a longtime resident of Cayce, SC, passed away September 5, 2012, at her son's home in Fort Mill, SC under Hospice Care after a brief illness. She was born April 7, 1933, in Durham, NC, a daughter of the late Robert Everette Collingwood, Sr. and the late Sybil Moore Collingwood of Cayce, SC.
