TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF MINNIE L. JACKSON OF BISHOPVILLE 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 Minnie L. Jackson of Bishopville on April 14, 2016, at the venerable age of ninety-one; and
Whereas, born to William and Vermell Baker, Minnie L. Jackson entered this world on August 4, 1924, when the twentieth century was still in its youth, and she was a witness to nearly all the incredible changes and developments that have come to this nation from that time into the second decade of the twenty-first century; and
Whereas, in the fullness of time, the young Minnie met T.J. Jackson, and the two were wed on December 27, 1942, God blessing their union with two beautiful daughters, a grandson, and two great-grandsons; and
Whereas, an accomplished homemaker, Minnie lovingly reared her children and treasured spending time with her grandchild and great-grandchildren. If friends and family could not find her in the house, they were likely to find her outside tending her garden. When her schedule allowed it, she also enjoyed traveling; and
Whereas, having been preceded in death by her beloved husband, T.J. Jackson, as well as two brothers, Hoyt and Marvin Baker, and a sister, Lila Marsh, she leaves to cherish her memory her daughters, Barbara Ann Blackwell (Carl) and Clara Lynn Jackson; her grandson, Carl "C.W." Blackwell, Jr. (Michelle); two great-grandsons, Carl (Trace) Blackwell III and Thomas Blackwell; her brother, Jesse Baker; her sister, Virginia Brown; and a host of other relatives and friends. She will be missed. 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 Minnie L. Jackson of Bishopville and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mrs. Barbara Ann Blackwell for the family.
