Obituary For Calvin McKenney Drummond

Mr. Calvin McKenney Drummond, passed away Sunday, October 6, 2024 at his residence.

Calvin Drummond was the youngest of four children born to the late Robert Earl Rosemond and the late Clara Wingo on December 10, 1943, in South Carolina.

He attended George W. Wingate High School, where he graduated before joining the United States Air Force with two close friends, Rubert Fontenell and Swins Fontenell. After serving in the Air Force, Calvin became a dedicated and hardworking employee at Chase Banking Corporation, where he worked for twenty-five years. In addition, he worked at the American Indian Museum and was ordained, proudly serving as an Elder at St. Paul Church in New York for over twenty years.

He later met his beautiful future wife, Ms. Roxanne. They dated, fell in love, and were married in 2009. In 2013, they relocated from New York to North Carolina, where Calvin enjoyed life as a retired veteran. He spent time with his close friend and neighbor, Apostle Ezekiel, did yard work, attended Bible study, and went to Sunday church services at Bethany Community Church of Sedalia, where he and his wife were members.

Calvin was a joy to be around—humble, kind, and generous. He had a giving spirit and loved people dearly. He will be deeply missed.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two brothers and one sister. He leaves to cherish his memory, his wife, Roxanne Drummond; his stepdaughter, Jennie; one sister, Unice; one brother, Winslow; one niece, Dr. Makenzie; one nephew, Joseph; and a host of friends and relatives.
