A concurrent RESOLUTION

 

To request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Estes Lane in Fairfield County from its intersection with State Road S-20-60 to its intersection with Landis Road "Mary Lucille Kennedy McDaniel Road" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.

 

Whereas, Mary Lucille Kennedy McDaniel of Winnsboro left her earthly life on July 22, 2024, at the venerable age of 90; and

 

Whereas, born on June 2, 1934, Mary set her family at the center of her world, and she poured her heart into nurturing and supporting them. She was the "virtuous woman" of Proverbs 31, whose strong faith in God guided her every step. She was a pillar of strength and a beacon of love and compassion in her community. Her giving heart and joyful spirit touched the lives of all who knew her. She found immense joy in helping those in need and was always ready with a kind word or a comforting gesture; and

 

Whereas, this beautiful Scriptural testimony describes Mary aptly: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" (II Timothy 4:7-8, KJV); and

 

Whereas, this beloved mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend was preceded in death by her husband, Eddie McDaniel; a son, Ronald McDaniel; a daughter, Eddie Mae McDaniel Brown, and siblings, Almenia Kennedy Henderson, Mattie Barr, Leroy Kennedy, Frank Kennedy, and Thomas Kennedy. Mary leaves to cherish her memory her surviving children, Jessie Kennedy Ashford, Annie E. McDaniel, Sandra McDaniel Mingo (Benny), Susan McDaniel Anderson (William), Ebony McDaniel, and Taylor Brown; siblings Moses Kennedy, Ernest Kennedy, and Thelma Jackson (Benjamin); and a host of loving friends; and

 

Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to memorialize the many accomplishments of this daughter of the Palmetto State by naming a road in Fairfield County in her honor.  Now, therefore,

 

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

 

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Estes Lane in Fairfield County from its intersection with State Road S-20-60 to its intersection with Landis Road "Mary Lucille Kennedy McDaniel Road" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
