Glen O’Quinn, 88, of Beaufort, South Carolina, passed away peacefully at her home on April 27, 2026, at 11:00 p.m., surrounded by her loving family.
Born on July 30, 1937, in Savannah, Georgia, Glen was the daughter of James B. Bellamy, Jr. and Nila D. Bellamy. She attended Bartram School for Girls before returning to Beaufort for her senior year, graduating from Beaufort High School in 1956. She then attended Anderson College in Anderson, South Carolina, where she studied to become an X-ray technician.
After college, Glen remained in Anderson for a time before moving to Charleston for work. Eventually, she returned home to Beaufort, where she worked for Dr. Glover. It was there, back in her hometown, that she met Robert D. O’Quinn, Jr., known to all as “Bobby,” after he returned from serving in the United States Navy. They were married on September 1, 1962.
After their marriage, Glen worked briefly at Beaufort Memorial Hospital before dedicating herself fully to her home,family and Jesus Christ. She was a loving and attentive mother to their two children, Robert D. O’Quinn III and Tarra O. Herring, and created a home that was warm, welcoming, and anchored in care for others. Glen was always present for her children—supporting their activities, serving as a Brownie and Girl Scout leader, and faithfully encouraging them in every season of life. She also took an active role as a Booster Club mother for the football team.
Glen’s love for Jesus Christ extended beyond her home into her church and community. She was consistently involved in her church, First Scots Presbyterian Church, where she and Bobby became members on August 09,2015. She was active in the Broad River Garden Club and the Red Hat Club. She had the special joy of seeing four generations of her family and treasured those relationships deeply.

Herring (Jay); her grandchildren, Nila Barrett (Casey), Joseph A. Vido II (Shelby), Robert D.

O’Quinn V and Sunny Ann O’Quinn; Paisley and Daniel Harral; and London Horne.
