Alpha Omega Larrimore Wiggins Schultz entered the presence of the Lord on January 29, 2025. She passed away at home, surrounded by her family and caregivers. Born February 4, 1925, in Marion County, SC, Ms. Schultz was the daughter of the late Walter Harley "Buck" Larrimore and Bessie Williams Larrimore. Ms. Schultz is predeceased by her parents; her husband, William H. Schultz; three sisters, Olivia L. Abrams, Opal L. Grieser and Marilyn L. Bellamy; and two brothers, Oscar Levoye Larrimore and Delmus Larrimore. She is survived by her sister-in-law, Sarah Larrimore, her nieces, nephews and their families, as well as many dear friends and neighbors. After graduating valedictorian of her senior class at age sixteen, Alpha would leave her beloved childhood home on the banks of the Little Pee Dee River, moving to Charleston, SC, where she obtained her secondary education and began a distinguished career in civil service. Beginning with the Army Corps of Engineers, Alpha's professional journey would take her to Washington, DC. Based at the Pentagon, she served as a Management Analyst for the Department of Defense, US Army, supporting civilian and military manpower management. She retired following thirty- seven years in the Federal Civil Service, receiving numerous commendations and awards during those years of service. She would remain an active member of the National Active and Retired Federal Employees (NARFE). It would be a tremendous understatement to say that she was a trailblazer. At the conclusion of her professional career, Alpha returned to the low country of South Carolina where she spent many years enjoying her family, her church and her community. Having experienced an incredibly full life, just days short of a century, Alpha relished being able to maintain an independent life in her beloved Pawleys Island home, with the assistance of her cherished caregivers, Joe and Lucy Humes. As in all aspects of her life, she would approach her final days with faith and the same determination that had always served her so well. She will be remembered as a beautiful, intellectual, self- determined lady who led an uncommonly extraordinary life. A visitation will be held from 2:00 -2:30 at Piney Grove Baptist Church on Sunday, February 2, 2025. Funeral Service will be held on Sunday, February 2, 2025 at 2:30pm at Piney Grove Baptist Church.
