TO CONGRATULATE MR. AND MRS. FRED MOTLEY, ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY, AND TO EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR MANY MORE YEARS OF BLESSING AND FULFILLMENT.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are pleased to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Fred Motley celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary on March 20, 2014; and
Whereas, Lynn Rabon and Fred Motley met in grade school and graduated from Columbia High School; and
Whereas, in 1964, in the month of March when tulips and iris raise their fragrant blooms abroad, Lynn and Fred pledged to one another a lifetime of love and sharing as they were joined in holy matrimony; and
Whereas, together they reared three fine children: Rob Motley, Scott Motley, and Ashley Zeigler. These children have blessed their parents with eleven adoring grandchildren. Rob and his wife, Tammy, are parents of Hampton, Will, Edge, and Davis; Scott and his wife, Lee, are the parents of T. Scott, Peyton, Graham, Reese, and Kellyn; and Ashley and her husband, Mike, are the parents of Mikey and Jackson; and
Whereas for thirty-five years, Fred served in the insurance industry where he had an impeccable reputation and was highly regarded for his professionalism, his integrity and his overall contribution to the industry; and
Whereas Fred is a devoted husband to Lynn and a devoted father to his children, his passion is serving others, a faithful member of Lexington Presbyterian Church, he serves as a church elder, active in church missions works with the Gideons International and serves with the Romans; and
Whereas, Lynn over the course of raising her children was a dedicated and busy stay-at-home mother, who served her family well by supporting Fred in his career and making sure her children were in sports, school programs, music lessons, church programs and, in her spare time she enjoyed softball with her church and especially her sister, Jean; and
Whereas, she served as a secretary for Greenlawn Baptist Church and for Lexington Presbyterian Church, where she also served in other capacities such as being a member of the choir. She also enjoys playing the piano in her spare time; and
Whereas, family is very important to them, and through the years, they have planned many family reunions for the Trussell clan, descendants of Lynn's grandmother; and
Whereas, no success on earth authenticates a life as does a marriage that endures the test of time and grows stronger with each passing year; and
Whereas, Mr. Motley has learned the veracity of the proverb, "Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the Lord," and he now considers one of his crowning achievements his good sense to marry his beloved Lynn; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives appreciate the half century of devotion that Lynn and Fred Motley have had for each other and for their family and the example of love and fidelity they set for all who know them. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Fred Motley, on the occasion of their golden wedding anniversary, and extend best wishes for many more years of blessing and fulfillment.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Mr. and Mrs. Fred Motley.
