John E. Herman

John Edward Herman, 93, widower of Mary Ellen Harmon Herman, departed this world of pain and suffering to join His Savior, Jesus Christ, in Glory on April 27, 2019. A native of Greenville County, son of the late Clyde McCoy and Lillie Mason Herman, he was a U.S. Army Veteran and a lifelong member of Mt Lebanon Baptist Church. He began his life in the most humble of circumstances but through hard work, determination and dependability, became plant manager of Greer Shirt Corp. John loved his family. He also loved to farm and taught all his children and grandchildren how to “grow a garden”. Surviving are a son, Keith Herman (Sandra) of Greer; a daughter, Denise H. Campbell (Jim) of Campobello; one brother, Tom Herman (Nancy) of Campobello; five grandchildren, Jason Herman, Caleb Herman, Rachel Herman, Austin Campbell and Evan Campbell; and a special friend, Doris Greer. Mr. Herman was predeceased by one brother, Billy Herman. Funeral services will be held 3:00 p.m. Thursday, May 2, 2019 at Mount Lebanon Baptist Church, conducted by Rev. Mark Smith. Burial will follow in the church cemetery. Pallbearers will be Eric Herman, Jerry Wingo, Ray Clark, Randy Wingo, Matthew Campbell, and Dakota Pittman. Honorary escort will be the Eveready Men’s Bible Class of Mount Lebanon Baptist Church. Visitation will be held 1:30-2:45 p.m. Thursday at the church. The family is at the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Keith and Sandra Herman. The family especially wishes to thank those precious hands that ministered to their father during these last difficult months. This care came from Comfort Keepers, Ashlan Village and Regency Southern Care Hospice. No amount of words can express our gratitude to all of you.
