Linwood L. Capps passed away peacefully on Monday, April 21, 2025, at McLeod Hospice House in Florence. He was 92 years of age. Born in Marion County, South Carolina on July 22, 1932, he was the son of the late Sandy Leroy Capps and the late Eula Blanche Lewis Capps.

Linwood was a successful businessman and a beloved member of the Mullins community. His business career spanned over forty years, as he worked in both the grocery and real estate market in the area. He played a major role in the development of the Piggly Wiggly grocery chain in both Mullins and Florence. He worked hard and made many friends through the years. Through the years in the grocery business, he was able to bless many people through contributions to local charities and churches.

He was a loving husband to his wife, Virginia, who he was married to for seventy-four years and preceded him in death just six weeks prior to his passing. He was a devoted father to his children, Randy, Sandi, Marlene, and Rodney, and a proud grandfather to his grandchildren. He was a member of Mullins First Baptist Church and the Who-So-Ever-Will Sunday School Class. A Mason, he believed in helping others which was a lesson he passed on to his children.

In addition to his parents, Linwood was predeceased by his wife, Virginia, brothers, Treadway, Aubrey, Grady, Felton, and Thelbert Capps and three sisters, Grace "Queen" Byrd, Edith Coxe, and Barbara Anne Hucks.
