TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPON THE DEATH OF MS. BERTIE L. FELDER OF LEXINGTON COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Ms. Bertie L. Felder of Lexington County on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, at the venerable age of ninety-five; and
Whereas, born the daughter of the late Ellison and Lizzie Gaffney Felder in Lexington County, Bertie L. Felder came into this world on April 25, 1919, when the twentieth century was still in its youth, and she was witness to nearly all the incredible changes and developments that have come to this nation from that time into the twenty-first century; and
Whereas, this woman of faith served the Lord as a member of Maloney Baptist Church in North, South Carolina; and
Whereas, those who had the privilege of knowing her considered Bertie Felder a fragrant rose in God's garden; and
Whereas, she leaves to cherish her memory her great-nephew and niece Antjuan and Marcia Seawright, who lovingly served as her caregivers; two nieces, Margaret Seawright and Dorothy Shivers; and other family members and friends. She will be missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of Ms. Bertie L. Felder of Lexington County and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Antjuan and Marcia Seawright for the family.
