A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE ANGELINE LONEY OF SUMTER COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF HER ONE HUNDREDTH 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 pleased to learn that Angeline Loney of Sumter County will celebrate her centennial birthday on August 14, 2013; and

Whereas, born on August 14, 1913 in Dalzell, SC, she has been witness to remarkable social changes, technological advancements, and international developments that have spanned the globe from that time into the second decade of the twenty-first century; and

Whereas, she married the love of her life, Marcus Loney, in 1932, and moved to New York, where they lived for fifteen years before returning to Dalzell, SC.; and

Whereas, after returning to South Carolina, she worked various jobs, including as a beauty shop technician; and

Whereas, Angeline Loney is an active member of Hopewell Baptist Church and previously served as the assistant superintendant of the Sunday school, the president of the Pastors Aid Ministry for thirty-three years, and sang in the choir. She often recalls the words of Pastor L.W. Walker, Sr., who said "If your Bible is clean, then you have not been using it;" and

Whereas, she attributes her longevity to working hard and having faith, often citing Proverbs 3:5, which states "Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding;" and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate are pleased to honor this daughter of South Carolina upon the occasion of her one hundredth birthday and join with her family and friends in congratulating 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 Angeline Loney of Sumter County on the occasion of her one hundredth 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 forwarded to Angeline Bolden.
