Smith, Sottile, Spires, Stavrinakis, Stringer, Tallon, Taylor, Thayer, Thigpen, Toole, Trantham, Weeks, West, Wheeler, White, Whitmire, R. Williams, S. Williams, Willis, Wooten, Young and Yow: A HOUSE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR SHIRLEY M. BLACK, ACCOUNTING MANAGER FOR THE ACCOUNTING AND BENEFITS DEPARTMENT OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, ON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT, TO THANK HER FOR MORE THAN FORTY YEARS OF OUTSTANDING AND DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO WISH HER MUCH SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS. Whereas, for over four decades, Shirley M. Black carried out her duties as a South Carolina state government staff member with integrity and excellence, most recently as accounting manager for the Accounting and Benefits Department of the House of Representatives; and Whereas, a resident of Columbia, Shirley began work with the State of South Carolina on January 5, 1978. In June 1988, she became accounting manager for the Accounting and Benefits Department of the House of Representatives, serving over the years under six Speakers and four Clerks. She brought her career to a conclusion on November 16, 2018, and commenced what her colleagues, friends, and family have no doubt will prove a fruitful retirement; and Whereas, Shirley's colleagues will miss her friendliness, along with her compassion for others and the way she promoted harmony in the office. They also will miss her occasional streak of mischief, which manifested itself in humorous leg-pulls that lifted everyone's spirits. Witness the April Fool's Day that found Shirley and other co-workers convincing another co-worker that she had won a pink Cadillac. They even had flowers delivered to her and a security officer (with a radio announcer's voice) telling her about the car; and Whereas, figuring that Shirley could handle it, her colleagues decided to try out a little practical joke on her, once again on April Fool's Day: They all called in sick on a session day that was also a payday; and Whereas, as a woman of faith, Shirley is an active member of First Baptist Church of Lexington. In her family circle, she takes pleasure in the company of her husband, Olin Black, and their children, Greg Edwards, Lisa Rivers, Cheryl Freeman, Tony Black, and Michelle Wadford. Their daughter Kathy Hatfield, now deceased, is a sweet memory; and Whereas, during Shirley's well-earned retirement, she looks forward to more frequent indulgence in spending time with family, reading, traveling, and camping at Ocean Lakes in the family RV; and Whereas, grateful for her many years of distinguished service to the people of South Carolina, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in extending best wishes to Shirley as she transitions to retirement. The members trust she will find an abundance of enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the House of Representatives: That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Shirley M. Black, accounting manager for the Accounting and Benefits Department of the House of Representatives, on the occasion of her retirement, thank her for more than forty years of outstanding and dedicated service to the State of South Carolina, and wish her much success and fulfillment in all her future endeavors. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Shirley M. Black. The Resolution was adopted.

KNIGHT ON HER MERITORIOUS SERVICE IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OVER THE PAST TWELVE YEARS AND TO WISH HER CONTENTMENT AND SUCCESS IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS. Whereas, for twelve years, the Honorable Patsy G. Knight with faithful integrity has represented the citizens of Colleton and Dorchester counties, District 97, in the House of Representatives of this great State; and Whereas, Patsy Knight's views on public service are grounded in her commitment to family, church, and community. This resident of Dorchester County gained many skills necessary for her public service as a South Carolina House member through her work in the community. She was the owner-operator of Knight's Bookkeeping and Tax Service, where she learned the importance of budgeting and fiscal responsibility. She brought this sound business approach to the operations of the family's convenience store, helping to establish and operate that business while at the same time managing the family farm; and Whereas, during her time of service in the House of Representatives, Patsy Knight proved her worth as a member of the House Agriculture, Natural Resources & Environmental Affairs Committee, as well as the Education and Public Works Committee and Operations and Management Committee. As a legislator, she shared in the work of the House Democratic Caucus, South Carolina General Assembly Women's Caucus, House Arts Caucus, Rural Caucus, and Sportsman Caucus; and Whereas, former Representative Knight believes strongly in personal involvement with her community, and her convictions have led her to serve that community, as well as the broader community of South Carolina and beyond, in several capacities. Past or present service includes membership in St. George Rotary International District #7770 (charter member); the Summerville/Dorchester Chamber of Commerce; Tri-County Chamber of Commerce; and South Carolina Association of Auditors, Treasurers and Tax Collectors (past vice president and president). By the latter organization, she was granted the prestigious L.H. "Sonny" Siau Award of Excellence; and Whereas, an honorary member of the Civil Air Patrol and a Clemson University Palmetto Leadership graduate, Patsy also received the NAACP/St. George Branch's Community Service Image Award. As a woman of faith, she is a member of Indian Field United Methodist Church; and Whereas, on the occasion of her departure from the House of Representatives, her House colleagues, grateful for Patsy Knight's committed service to this body and the people of District 97, extend warmest best wishes for much contentment and blessing in this new phase of her life. Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the House of Representatives: That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend the Honorable Patsy G. Knight on her meritorious service in the South Carolina House of Representatives over the past twelve years and wish her contentment and success in all her future endeavors.
