Whereas, Mrs. Sophia Dontae Woodard died on October 7, 2004, in a tragic accident at "Salem Crossroads" in Fairfield County at the age of thirty-four; and

Whereas, she was born in Fairfield County, the daughter of Jessie and Mary Brown Williamson; and

Whereas, Mrs. Woodard is survived by her devoted husband, Mr. Sean Woodard, Sr., and their children, Sean, Jr., Deon, and La Detra; and

Whereas, she was a substitute school teacher and school bus driver in the Fairfield County Public School system; and

Whereas, she was well-known and liked by everyone in her community; and

Whereas, she died in a fatal collision while transporting dozens of school children home along South Carolina Highway 215 in Fairfield County; and

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to honor her memory by naming a portion of South Carolina Highway 215 "Sophia Dontae Woodard Memorial Highway". Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina request that the Department of Transportation name the portion of South Carolina Highway 215 one-half mile in both directions from its intersection with South Carolina Highway 34 in Fairfield County "Sophia Dontae Woodard Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate markers or signs along this portion of highway that contain the words "Sophia Dontae Woodard Memorial Highway".
