TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, UPON THE PASSING OF BARBARA STRICKLER OF SPARTANBURG COUNTY, AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER LARGE AND LOVING FAMILY AND HER MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death of Barbara Strickler, at the age of 72, on May 15, 2013; and
Whereas, in the day when campaigns were conducted around the kitchen table, she peeled a myriad of mailing labels and affixed them to mailers, counted mailers and sent bulk mail, and hand addressed and stamped countless invitations for candidates; and
Whereas, her first major involvement with Republican Party campaigns was in Jim Edwards' campaign for governor, and she actively participated in Carroll Campbell's various Congressional and gubernatorial campaigns and worked tirelessly at George H. W. Bush's presidential campaign headquarters; and
Whereas, she served the Spartanburg County Republican Party as the vice chair, as the state committeeman, and as a long-serving precinct organizer and hardworking committeeman as long as her health allowed; and
Whereas, active in the Spartanburg County Republican Women and First Monday clubs, Mrs. Strickler served as a poll manager for many years; and
Whereas, a faithful attendee at county and state conventions and a loyal contributor to the county and state GOP, Mrs. Strickler worked energetically and enthusiastically in many campaigns for the South Carolina General Assembly through the years; and
Whereas, she continued working on campaigns until her appointment to serve on the Spartanburg County Election Commission; she held that post for fifteen years and even served as the commission's chairman; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Barbara Strickler and for the example of sacrifice and patriotism 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 Barbara Strickler of Spartanburg County, and extend their deepest sympathy to her large and loving family and her many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Barbara Strickler.
