Frances Olivia Glasscock

Frances Olivia Glasscock was the youngest daughter of Ollie Simpson and Earl Palmer Glasscock Sr. of Catawba, SC. She was born on November 2, 1938 and suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at birth and developed cerebral palsy. At that time, there were no facilities available for handicapped students in the Rock Hill area. She was selected by a psychologist from Winthrop College (University) to be one of ten students to be enrolled in the newly established Junior League school for orthopedically challenged students. During this time, she received one-on-one tutoring from Mrs. Emma Echols for several years until she was admitted to Whitten Village in Clinton, SC. In 1980 she began attending Camp Joy, a camp for handicapped students with ARP affiliation at the ARP Conference Center (Bonclarken) in Flat Rock NC. She looked forward to attending Camp Joy every year until 2013. Her most recent years were spent at the SC Department of Social Services Wilson House in Blythewood, SC where she received exceptional care until her passing on Sunday, January 31, 2016. She is preceded in death by her brothers Earl Glasscock Jr. (wife Patricia) and James S. Glasscock Jr. (wife Anne). Surviving are her sisters Jean Glasscock Lesslie (husband Herman) and Barbara Ann Glasscock plus numerous nieces and nephews.
