A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO HONOR MS. CAROLYN DUNCAN BRASWELL OF RICHLAND COUNTY FOR HER MANY YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, TO CONGRATULATE HER ON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT AS ASSISTANT JOURNAL CLERK FOR THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, AND TO WISH HER MUCH SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to recognize Ms. Carolyn Duncan Braswell who retired from her position as South Carolina House of Representatives assistant journal clerk in 2014, a post she had graced since December 1996; and

Whereas, prior to joining the House Clerk's Office, Carolyn served with the South Carolina Department of Commerce, where she always went the extra mile to ensure that prospects received abundant Southern hospitality and went away impressed with our State; and

Whereas, in preparation for her career, Carolyn, who grew up in Concord, North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, known then as the Women's College of North Carolina; and

Whereas, within her home circle, she relishes the company of her daughters, Beth and Lisa, and her granddaughter, Alexis, whose operatic performances are on the list of Carolyn's greatest joys; and

Whereas, as an active member at Shandon Baptist Church, Carolyn is a dynamic group leader for Shandon's FAO Seniors; and

Whereas, Carolyn is active in her community and for twelve years she ran the Walter Hagen Golf Tournament, a fund-raising event for the American Cancer Society. A golf aficionado, she loves going to the Heritage at Hilton Head and the Masters and has attended two Ryder Cups; and

Whereas, away from the office, she is addicted to USC Gamecock sports. One of her favorite memories is climbing over the wall and running onto Death Valley field at Clemson in 2006 to hug her sweaty Gamecock boys after they beat Clemson in a 31-28 thriller; and

Whereas, as a member of the Pickle Making Society for fifteen years, she makes bread-and-butter pickles, green-tomato pickles, hot-pepper jelly, and pickled okra. Other culinary highlights she brings to the table are her sweet tea, Thanksgiving dressing, white chocolate covered pretzels, and her famous strawberry and blueberry trifle; and

Whereas, in her spare time, Carolyn plays bridge with the Monday Night Bridge club, an activity she has enjoyed for more than twenty-five years. And every morning like clockwork, she gets up before 6:00 a.m. to do her crossword puzzle, which she burns through like lightning; and

Whereas, Carolyn's former colleagues delighted in, and now deeply miss, her humor, warm spirit, and strong work ethic; and

Whereas, grateful for the legacy of consistent commitment and excellence Carolyn Braswell has bestowed on this great State, the House of Representatives takes much pleasure in wishing her well in her retirement and trusts she will find much enjoyment in the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Carry on, Carolyn! Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, honor Ms. Carolyn Duncan Braswell of Richland County for her many years of dedicated service to the State of South Carolina, congratulate her on the occasion of her retirement as assistant journal clerk for the South Carolina House of Representatives, 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 Ms. Carolyn Duncan Braswell.
