TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF JACQUELINE "CINDY" CLARK OF ORANGEBURG COUNTY, AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER LOVING FAMILY AND FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Jacqueline Clark, also affectionately known as Cindy, at the age of fifty-five on March 1, 2017; and
Whereas, Cindy was born in Lexington on July 22, 1961, to Russell B. Shealy and Patricia McClure Shealy; and
Whereas, she graduated from the University of South Carolina with a bachelor of arts in elementary education and a master's degree in speech therapy and audiology; and
Whereas, Cindy was a Sunday school teacher at First Presbyterian church and founder of The Filling Station in Orangeburg School District 5. This district has a poverty index of more than eighty-eight percent according to the South Carolina Department of Education. Cindy, recognizing the number of kids going home on Friday who wouldn't get another meal until breakfast at school Monday morning, decided to do something about it. She implemented a program to send students home with backpacks filled with food so that no child would have to go hungry; and
Whereas, a devoted wife and mother, Cindy is survived by husband Joseph William "Bill" Clark and daughter Morgan Leigh Clark; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Cindy Clark and for the example of sacrifice and kindness she set for all who knew her. 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 Jacqueline "Cindy" Clark of Orangeburg County, and extend their deepest sympathy to her loving family and friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Cindy Clark.
