VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF ELDER QUEENESTHER POLLINS BOWERS SINGLETON OF HAMPTON, TO CELEBRATE HER LIFE, 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 Elder Queenesther Pollins Bowers Singleton of Hampton on March 30, 2022, at the age of nearly eighty-eight; and
Whereas, born in Hampton County on April 14, 1934, the young Queenesther came into this world the daughter of Edward and Docia Davis Pollins. She received her education in the public schools of New York; and
Whereas, upon returning to South Carolina, she met and married the late Mr. Quillie Miles Bowers, the Lord blessing their union with two children, James and Mary; and
Whereas, Elder Singleton accepted Christ and received her ministerial license under the leadership of the late Bishop B.J. Sanders. She later would be ordained as an elder by the MSCHA organization; and
Whereas, her first assignment as a pastor was with Saint John Holy Church in Nixville, South Carolina. Being led by God, Elder Singleton moved to Brunson, South Carolina, where she would establish Mount Carmel Holy Church. Elder Singleton led her flock of parishioners for more than forty-six years until her passing; and
Whereas, in her leisure time, Elder Singleton was an avid angler. Together, she and her husband would frequent the Cumbee River in their boat; and
Whereas, touching lives everywhere, she established the prison ministry, the annual Thanksgiving Day senior dinner, and the food bank. She worked faithfully until the Lord called her home to glory; and
Whereas, preceded in death by her first husband, Quillie Miles Bowers, and her son, James Bowers, Elder Singleton leaves to cherish her memory her husband of thirty-five years, Elder Jessie Lee Singleton; her daughter, Evangelist Mary Bowers McKever of Jacksonville, Florida; her stepchildren, Lillie Jackson and Jessie Singleton, Jr., both of Boston, Massachusetts; and a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, other relatives, godchildren, and caring friends. She will be greatly 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 passing of Elder Queenesther Pollins Bowers Singleton of Hampton, celebrate her life, and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Elder Jessie Lee Singleton for the family.
