Murray Vincent
Murray Lee Vincent, 69, of Columbia, South Carolina, formerly of Vevay, died Thursday, May 29th. Visitation with the family was held at Dunbar Funeral Home, Devine Street Chapel, Friday, June 6th. A memorial service was held in the Rutledge Chapel at the University of South Carolina on the Horseshoe, Saturday, June 7th.
Born August 19th, 1938, in Amboy, Indiana, he was the son of the late Laurel Estel Vincent and Helen Gordon Vincent. He was a member of the Amboy Friends Church. He was a distinguished professor emeritus in the Department of Health Promotion, Education and Behavior, Arnold School of Public Health, at the University of South Carolina. He graduated from Earlham College with a B.A. in health and physical education, from Indiana University with an M.S. in physical education and from Temple University with an Ed.D. in health and physical education. He served as the basketball coach and was a teacher at Vevay High School from 1960-1963.
Dr. Vincent was instrumental in creating the first undergraduate health education degree in South Carolina, as well as all of the health education master’s and doctoral degrees currently available at U.S.C. He was one of the founding members of the South Carolina Association for Health Education in 1972, and served as the president in 1981. He received the following recognition in South Carolina: SCAHE President’s Award, Evaluation Contribution of the Year Award, SCAHPERD President’s Award, Scholar Award, and was the 2005 SCAAHE Researcher/Scholar of the Year. Nationally, he was named as an American Association of Health Educator’s Scholar and was inducted into the Health Education Hall of Fame in 2002 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and given the Luella Klein Award from Emory University School of Medicine in 1997.
Dr. Vincent was an outstanding teacher and was passionate about his career. During his U.S.C. tenure, Dr. Vincent received funding for research grants, demonstration projects, and health education-related contracts. His most significant research grants focused on teen pregnancy prevention and the evaluation of community-based primary prevention programs with: 1) U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services and S.C. Health and Human Services, 2) The Kansas Health Foundation, 3) the Centers for Disease Control, and 4) the S.C. Dept. of Social Services. These four grants contributed enormously to the practice of health education. Dr. Vincent delivered many presentations and training sessions all over the United States related to the data and results acquired in the above grants. Many research papers and reports were published from these projects by Vincent and his colleagues in journals such as the Journal of the American Medical Assn., Family Planning Perspectives, Journal of Health Education, American Journal of Public Health, Journal of School Health, Journal of Adolescent Health, Family and Community Health, and others. Dr. Vincent was also published in the Wall Street Journal in 2006 regarding the success of his community-based programs in Bamberg, S.C., which is still ongoing today.
Dr. Vincent resigned from the U.S.C. faculty in June 1999, but never really “resigned” from being a health education researcher and scholar and continued to be a tireless crusader for teen pregnancy prevention. Dr. Vincent authored or co-authored 12 published papers since his retirement in 1999. Also, during retirement, Dr. Vincent provided consultative services for teen pregnancy prevention programs and regularly made presentations to organizations and groups on health education issues. It is fair to say that much of the growth and advances in health education occurring in South Carolina over the past four decades can be attributed to Dr. Vincent’s passion, leadership, teaching and research efforts. His devotion to U.S.C. was unparalleled.
He is survived by his wife, Virginia Field Vincent; daughter and husband, Christine Vincent Prioleau and William Fripp Prioleau Jr. of Columbia, South Carolina; son and wife, Peter Harrison Vincent and Melody Kay Kyzer of Lake Waccamaw, North Carolina; granddaughter, Virginia Maybank Prioleau; grandsons, William Fripp Prioleau III and River Anatoly Vincent; sister, Beverly Vincent Overman; brothers, Wayne Estel Vincent and Wendell Henry Vincent.
During his retirement years, he spent time with his wife Virginia, working on their home and garden, walking through the U.S.C. campus, and enjoying time with their children and grandchildren. Murray had many special friends from U.S.C. and other teaching institutions and health related organizations as well as his many years spent with his golfing buddies at Columbia Country Club.
Memorial donations may be made to the S.C. Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy (1331 Elmwood Ave., Suite 140, Columbia, SC 29201). Please sign online guest book at www.dunbarfunerals.com.
