Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to learn that Donald Max Dorsey and Sandra Chappell Dorsey of Chester County will celebrate their fiftieth wedding anniversary on June 3, 2023; and

 

Whereas, few successes in life are greater than a marriage that endures time, for the long-lasting love and support of a spouse are unmatched in their importance; and

 

Whereas, married on June 3, 1973, at Uriel Presbyterian Church in Chester, South Carolina, Max and Sandra Dorsey have demonstrated a fifty-year commitment to one another in the institution of Holy Matrimony; and

 

Whereas, Max and Sandra Dorsey, having been born, raised, and lived all their lives in Chester County as contributing citizens, have earned the admiration and appreciation of their community; and

 

Whereas, this couple is blessed with four fine children: Donald Max Dorsey II, Jennifer Dorsey Shannon, Christopher Andrew Dorsey, and Alexander Hardin Dorsey.  They have the deep joy of seven loving grandchildren and in-laws, all of whom have enriched their lives; and

 

Whereas, having worked for the great State of South Carolina as an educator and retiring as an administrator with the Department of Juvenile Justice after more than four decades, Max Dorsey is a superlative role model of public service; and

 

Whereas, having worked in several private sector businesses in Chester County and retiring as a preschool instructor in order to care for many children within the community, including her grandchildren, Sandra Dorsey is an ultimate example of a loving mother and contributing citizen; and

 

Whereas, both Max and Sandra have been active members of Trinity Presbyterian Church in various capacities.  Max has served as an elder and Sunday school teacher, and Sandra has served as a music director and president of the Women in the Church; and

 

Whereas, now in their retirement, both enjoy homesteading, travelling, working on their farm in Lewis Turnout, keeping their grandchildren, and serving their community; and

 

Whereas, their faith in Jesus Christ, love for one another, dedication to their family, and service to their neighbors is an inspiration to many.  Their marriage is a demonstration of what it means to follow the commandments of love as written in I Corinthians 13; and

 

Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the members of the South Carolina General Assembly express their congratulations to these two special South Carolinians on reaching the milestone of their golden wedding anniversary.  Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
