The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psalm 23:1

We are Celebrating the Life of Ms. Laura Catherine “Polly” Washington who was born October 21, 1951, to the late Mr. Elijah “Bo” Washington and the late Mrs. Queen Catherine White Washington and reared by the late Mary Elizabeth Washington Muldrow. She peacefully made her transition into eternal rest on Thursday, October 5, 2023, at Greenville Memorial Hospital, after an illness, in Greenville, South Carolina.

Laura, affectionately called “Polly” lived her life to the fullest without any regrets.

Polly attended Florence Public Schools and was a proud Class of 1969 graduate at Wilson High School. She was employed with Ron’s Café, Gangplank Seafood Restaurant and Donut Diner all in Florence, South Carolina, until her health declined.

Polly, a member of House of God Keith Dominion Church in Florence, South Carolina, joined under the leadership of the late State Elder Elijah Green.

Polly loved her boys and her family and would go to war for them. She loved listening to music, especially Roy Charles Hammond better known as "Roy C”, laughing, joking and would always say, “I’m , Bo Washington’s daughter.”
