TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF MRS. JERRY COOK BROWN OF HILTON HEAD ISLAND AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Mrs. Jerry Cook Brown of Hilton Head Island on May 26, 2015; and
Whereas, as a young woman, the former Jerry Cook met the love of her life, Arthur Edmon Brown, Jr., and married him immediately upon his graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point in 1953. In time, the two became the delighted parents of a son and two daughters; and
Whereas, also after his West Point graduation, Mrs. Brown's husband was commissioned in the infantry. Together the couple began the military life, which included periods of time when she was not allowed to accompany him to certain duty stations; and
Whereas, in 1989, Jerry and Art Brown retired and moved to Hilton Head Island, which they called home ever since. They involved themselves in the life of the community and endeared themselves to their new friends and neighbors; and
Whereas, at the time of Jerry Brown's death on May 26, 2015, she and her beloved husband had been married nearly sixty-two years; and
Whereas, Jerry Cook Brown leaves to cherish her memory her husband, family, and many friends. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing 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 death of Mrs. Jerry Cook Brown of Hilton Head Island and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Arthur Edmon Brown, Jr., for the family.
