She was the daughter of the late Charles T. Dew Sr. and Annie Sue Williams Dew of Conway, S.C. She attended schools in Conway and Aynor, S.C. She was a homemaker who was very active in her Christian ministry, and was invited to share her testimony by numerous churches in Virginia, South Carolina and North Carolina.

She is survived by her husband, Ronald C. McLaren of Virginia Beach; a daughter, Sherry E. Bell of Conway, S.C.; a son, Hugh W. ``Butch'' McLaren of Virginia Beach; a sister, Frances D. Holmes of Charleston, S.C.; two half-sisters, Evelyn Thackery and Carolyn Chestnut, both of Conway, S.C.; three brothers, Charles T. Dew Jr. of Augusta, Ga., William C. Dew of Conway, S.C., and Thomas A. Dew of Socastee, S.C.; and her step-mother, Bertha Brown Dew of Conway, S.C. She is also survived by several nieces and nephews.

A funeral will be held at 7 p.m. Friday in Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Bayside Chapel. The family will greet friends following the service.
