Julia Bolchoz Obituary

Julia Elizabeth Bolchoz MT. PLEASANT - On Tuesday, September 14, 2021, Julia Elizabeth (Beth) Bolchoz passed away in her home in Mount Pleasant. She is survived by her husband, Sam Epstein; her stepsons, Zack, Elliot and Coby; her sisters, Michelle, Leslie, Lee and Eve; her brothers, Cole and Gene; her aunts, Caroline, Collie, Peggy and Marylou; her uncle, Tim; and her dogs, Bandit and Cash. Beth was a loving wife, a caring sibling, a loyal friend, and a cheerful co-worker. She had an indomitable spirit that met every challenge with a radiant smile. She will be greatly missed by all who were blessed with her presence in their lives. Beth was born in Charleston, South Carolina to parents, Eugene and Linda Bolchoz. She grew up in Charleston and Newberry. Beth enjoyed a long and successful career as a hair stylist and barber. Beth was a gifted artist. That artistry was manifest in her beautiful paintings, which were reflective of her bright and colorful spirit; and in her gardening, where each flower was a perfectly placed brushstroke. When she cut hair, every snip was rendered with the same esthetic she brought to a canvas. Beth was insatiably curious, ever wanting to peek behind the curtain to see what makes things tick. She loved programs about science and technology. Life with her was like being a permanent extra on the set of NOVA. Beth was a devout Christian who believed that one day she would be welcomed into the arms of her Lord and Savior. We can take comfort in knowing that although Beth has taken her light into another room, a glimmer of that light will brighten our lives so long as we keep her memory alive. In lieu of flowers, the family has requested that you consider making a gift to the Mental Health Program at the MUSC Childrens Hospital. Gifts in memory can be made out to the MUSC Foundation and sent to the MUSC Childrens Hospital Fund - 59 Bee Street, MSC 201, Charleston, SC 29425. Gifts can be made online at musckids.org.
