TO CONVEY THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO THE FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS OF ANGIE LAURA KING CORLEY AND TO EXPRESS PROFOUND SORROW UPON HER PASSING.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Angie Laura King Corley on May 22, 2014; and
Whereas, Mrs. Corley was born on September 4, 1924, in Chester County, to the late William and Ellen Louise Nelson King; and
Whereas, Mrs. Corley had a lifelong passion for education. After earning a bachelor's degree in education from South Carolina State University and a master's degree in education from New York University, she taught at many schools in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Washington D.C.; and
Whereas, Mrs. Corley stressed the importance of higher education and fiscal responsibility to all of her students. This led her to become a counselor and she took great pride in helping navigate students on the path to achieving their dreams; and
Whereas, her passion for education led her to run for the Ward 5 School Board in Washington D.C. and during her tenure she implemented several policies to increase overall student performance, strengthen the curriculum of the district schools, and provide teachers a fair salary; and
Whereas, Mrs. Corley was an active member of Church of the Redeemer Presbyterian Church and enjoyed sharing her love of the church with everyone. Her love of education was visible in her church life as well, as she started a SAT tutoring program that would help raise the scores of many students seeking admission to institutions of higher education; and
Whereas, she leaves to cherish her memory her husband, Andrew, her four children, eight grandchildren, four great grandchildren, along with a host of many other relatives who will remember her endless love and devotion to her family. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, convey the deepest sympathy to the family and many friends of Angie Laura King Corley and express profound sorrow upon her passing.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Corley family.
