TO CONGRATULATE MRS. MAYBELL LANGLEY DAVIS ON THE OCCASION OF HER NINETY-NINTH BIRTHDAY, AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND MANY YEARS OF CONTINUED HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are delighted to learn that Mrs. Maybell Langley Davis celebrated her ninety-ninth birthday on April 12, 2012; and
Whereas, born in the Lowcountry community of Jamestown in the spring of 1913, she has witnessed nearly all the incredible social changes, technological advances, and international developments that have occurred from the dawn of the twentieth century into the second decade of the twenty-first century; and
Whereas, she was educated in the public schools where, as teenagers, she and her sisters were the "talk of the town" as they drove back and forth to school in their new car, purchased for them by their brothers who were living and working in the steel industry in Baltimore, Maryland; and
Whereas, baptized in Mt. Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church in Jamestown when she was one year old. She met her beloved husband, William Davis, at a worship service in Shulerville, and they were married in 1930; and
Whereas, they made Shulerville their home where together they reared seven fine children, and she quickly became an active member of Wesley African Methodist Episcopal Church; and
Whereas, Mrs. Davis holds the distinction of being the oldest surviving member of the Langley, Morrison and Davis families; the Jamestown/Shulerville Community; and the Wesley AME Church that she joined with her husband in 1930; and
Whereas, she attributes her longevity to her deep trust in God, her cheerful attitude, and her unswerving obedience to the Golden Rule; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to honor this daughter of South Carolina upon the celebration of her ninety-ninth birthday and join with her family and friends to congratulate her on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Mrs. Maybell Langley Davis on the occasion of her ninety-ninth birthday, and wish her a joyous birthday celebration and many years of continued health and happiness.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Mrs. Maybell Langley Davis.
