Leah Sue

Blum

Leah Sue Blum, 68, of Florence, South Carolina, passed away on September 27, 2026, leaving behind a family who loved her deeply and a lifetime of memories that will forever be cherished.

Leah was married to her devoted husband, Colonel Justin Blum, for 43 years. Together, they built a life and family that meant everything to her. She devoted her life to her family as a stay-at-home mother. Being a wife, mother, and grandmother was at the heart of who she was. She had an incredibly generous and loving spirit and gave so much of herself to the people she loved.

She found joy in the simple, beautiful things in life. Leah loved flowers, especially lilies, which will forever hold a special meaning for those who loved her. She enjoyed bird watching and had a wonderfully creative spirit. There seemed to be very little she couldn’t make with her own two hands. Whether crafting or sewing, Leah had a gift for creating beautiful things and sharing them with others.

More than anything, Leah will be remembered for the love she gave so freely. Her generosity, creativity, and caring nature touched her family in countless ways, and the pieces of herself that she poured into them will continue to live on through her children and grandchildren.

Leah was preceded in death by her parents, Marie Allen & Henry Allen, and her sister, Terrie Unkert.

She leaves behind her husband of 43 years, Colonel Justin Blum; her children, Ryan (Christine) Blum, Adam (Christy) Blum, and Julianna (Zach) Mims; her grandchildren, Ethan Mims, Emily Blum, Taylor Bradsher, and Braeden Bradsher.

A service will be held at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Florence, South Carolina on October 11, 2026 at 4:00 pm.
