TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF MARION KRIEGNER YOUNG OF SUMTER COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened by the passing of Marion Kriegner Young of Sumter County on February 19, 2017, at the venerable age of ninety-seven; and
Whereas, born in Trenton, New Jersey, on December 12, 1919, Marion was the daughter of Frank C. and Mary P. Kriegner. In time, she met and married Kenneth R. Young, Sr., the Lord blessing the couple with a fine family of three sons and a daughter; and
Whereas, in preparation for her career, Marion Young graduated from the College of New Jersey and received her master's degree in education from the University of South Carolina. She taught school in Asbury Park, New Jersey, and served as the school librarian at Alice Drive Elementary and Millwood Elementary schools for more than twenty years; and
Whereas, in 1942, this woman of faith joined First Presbyterian Church of Sumter, where she served her God for the rest of her life and was an active member of Circle #5, the Berean Sunday School Class, and the Helen Murray Bible Study Group. She received an honorary life membership in the Presbyterian Women. In addition, she was a member of the Iota Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma and the Gardenmakers; and
Whereas, Mrs. Young leaves to cherish her memory three sons, Sumter attorney Kenneth R. Young, Jr. (Sharon), Colonel (Ret.) Robert F. Young (Carla), and South Carolina Circuit Judge W. Jeffrey Young (Sharon); a daughter, retired teacher Patricia Y. Phillips of Charleston; nine grandchildren; eleven great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild. She will be missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Marion Kriegner Young of Sumter County and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Marion Kriegner Young.
