Dollie Mae McClary Pushia was born on March 22, 1952, to George and Florine McClary in Williamsburg County, South Carolina. She was the 8th of 9 children from their union. She was preceded in death by her parents and 7 of her siblings. Dollie was called to her heavenly home on September 13, 2024, after a brief illness at MUSC in Charleston, SC.

Dollie graduated from Williamsburg High School in 1970. Upon graduation, she attended Manpower to learn additional life skills and for employment preparation. After completing her courses at Manpower, she attended Williamsburg Technical College where she met George Pushia.
