VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO HONOR GOOSE CREEK CITY COUNCILMEMBER MARGUERITE H. BROWN ON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT FROM CITY COUNCIL, TO THANK HER FOR HER MANY YEARS OF OUTSTANDING PUBLIC SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO WISH HER MUCH SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, it is with great pleasure that the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives honor individuals who give of their time and resources for the good of others; and
Whereas, Goose Creek City Councilmember Marguerite H. Brown has contributed thirty-nine years of valuable public service to the citizens of the Palmetto State and is thereby worthy of praise; and
Whereas, born Marguerite Hood in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the young Marguerite married Navy Petty Officer Third Class D.C. Brown in 1945. As part of the military life, the Browns lived throughout the United States until 1966, when Master Chief Brown retired from the Navy; and
Whereas, looking to find a permanent home after their retirement, the Browns contemplated moving to Florida. Their plans took a detour while visiting friends in Goose Creek, and the couple made their new home in that charming locale in a neighborhood where they have remained since 1967; and
Whereas, although the Browns enjoyed their new city, Mrs. Brown recognized the need for changes in the city's government. After serving on the board of health, Mrs. Brown ran for Goose Creek City Council in 1975. For the past thirty-nine years, Councilmember Brown has maintained one simple objective: staying current with the needs of the people; and
Whereas, she has been an active part of steering Goose Creek's growth from fewer than five thousand people to nearly thirty-three thousand, from crossroads town to well-respected city; and
Whereas, in recent years, Councilmember Brown has been concerned with zoning, orderly annexation, development of building restrictions, and responsible growth, and she has worked toward ensuring that the citizens of Goose Creek have all necessary services available to them. This has included investigating alternative sanitation strategies, building a new recreation center, providing safe walking areas through the hiker/biker trail system, beautifying highways, and maintaining green space; and
Whereas, Marguerite Brown finds strength for her labors in the strong support of her family: her husband of seventy years, D.C.; three children, Jean King, Janet Lucas, and Eddie Brown; and grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and
Whereas, the members of the House of Representatives recognize that the success of the State of South Carolina, the strength of its communities, and the vitality of American society as a whole depend, in great measure, upon the dedication of individuals like Marguerite H. Brown who use their talents and resources to serve others. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor Goose Creek City Councilmember Marguerite H. Brown on the occasion of her retirement from city council, thank her for her many years of outstanding public service to the people of South Carolina, and wish her much success and fulfillment in all her future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Marguerite H. Brown.
