Jimmy Wood Obituary
Born in Greenwood County and a son of the late Herman O. Wood and Lula Elizabeth Mitchell Wood, he was the husband of Rosemary Pugh Johnson Wood. Mr. Wood proudly served in the South Carolina National Guard with the 122nd Engineer Company in Saluda. He later retired from a long and dedicated career with the telephone company, CenturyLink. A longtime member of Good Hope Baptist Church, he was also a passionate supporter of the Yankees and South Carolina Gamecocks. As a proud member of the Gamecock Club for over 50 years, he rarely missed a game and could often be found in the stands cheering on his team, surrounded by family, friends and fellow fans.
Surviving are a daughter, Christie W. Norgart (Ryan) of Charleston, a sister, Lena Warren of Greenwood, three grandchildren, Van Norgart, Cale Norgart and Tucker Norgart, multiple nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held 4 p.m., Saturday, August 23, 2025, at Good Hope Baptist Church with Rev. Lee Going and Rev. Randy Ouzts officiating. Interment will follow in Mayson Memorial. The family will receive friends prior to the service from 1 until 3 p.m., at Mr. Jimmy's childhood home (his mother's home) per his wishes. The family requests those attending wear garnet and black to show your support of his love for the Gamecocks.
Memorials may be made to Good Hope Baptist Church, 6682 Greenwood Highway, Saluda, SC 29138.
