TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF PEGGY ANNE MCKEE JOHNSON OF CHESTER 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 by the passing of Peggy Anne McKee Johnson of Chester on January 10, 2019; and
Whereas, born on February 29, 1947, Peggy was the daughter of Annette H. McKee and Jesse McKee of Chester. The young Peggy attended school in her hometown and graduated from Finley High School, followed by studies at Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, Georgia; and
Whereas, always willing to help others, she often volunteered her services to anyone in need. She never met a stranger and left an indelible mark on everyone she met; and
Whereas, at an early age, Peggy joined Mt. Olive Baptist Church, where she faithfully served on the Mt. Olive Trustee Board, Personnel Committee, and Technology Committee. She also served as a board member on the Evergreen Cemetery Committee; and
Whereas, Peggy Johnson retired from the Chester County School District in 2007 and worked as coordinator of the summer feeding program for thirty years. Serving her community in this capacity was truly her heart's desire. She also loved to coupon and could often be found at local stores looking for deals; and
Whereas, Peggy long will be remembered for her loving spirit, infectious smile, and her impact on the lives of so many; and
Whereas, preceded in death by her parents and two daughters, Tabitha Vinson and Erica "Teisha" Johnson, Peggy leaves to cherish her memory daughters Samantha Gaither (Charles) and Jessica "Tasha" Johnson; five grandchildren, Shaquel, Briana, Brandon, Giovanni, and Stetavia; five stepchildren, Rachel, Antonio, Stephanie, Shawntyl, and Kim; and a host of other family members and friends. She will be greatly missed by those 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 passing of Peggy Anne McKee Johnson of Chester and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Peggy Anne McKee Johnson.
