A house RESOLUTION

 

to express profound sorrow of the south carolina house of representatives upon the passing of Joyce Carolyn Califf Wilder of manning and to extend their 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 passing of Joyce Carolyn Califf Wilder on March 18, 2025, at the age of seventy-eight; and

 

Whereas, born in Greenville, on August 12, 1946, she was the daughter of the late Frank Taylor Califf and the late Bertie Mae Harvey Califf; and

 

Whereas, Mrs. Wilder was the proud mother of three children, deeply engaged in their lives. As a coach's wife, she wholeheartedly embraced her role, frequently serving as the classroom mom, organizing class parties, and decorating for cheerleading events. She was unwavering in her support, attending every game and Laurence Manning Academy events to cheer on her children in all of their sporting endeavors; and

 

Whereas, she was a skilled seamstress and painter who cherished her home, making it a welcoming haven for everyone in Greeleyville. Embracing a maternal role, she cared for all the local children. The Wilder household was a hub of activity, with daily games of wiffle ball, pickup basketball, and pool time. Affectionately known as "Miss Joyce," she touched the hearts of many; and

 

Whereas, Mrs. Wilder was a devoted member of Greeleyville Baptist Church, where she served diligently for many years as a steward, Sunday school teacher, and Bible school instructor; and

 

Whereas, she will be deeply missed by her husband of fifty-nine years, Gerald Camlin Wilder, her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and brother, Lowell Califf. Her memory will also be cherished by many nieces, nephews, extended family, and friends. 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 Joyce Carolyn Califf Wilder of Manning and extend their deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family.
