TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF DONZELLE FOXWORTH DICKERSON OF CONWAY AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened by the passing of Donzelle Foxworth Dickerson of Conway on October 24, 2017, at the venerable age of ninety-five; and
Whereas, Donzelle Foxworth Dickerson was born in Marion County on July 6, 1922. She was a daughter of the late Marvin Kenner and Augusta Luiza Prosser Foxworth and the wife of W.Y. "Dick" Dickerson; and
Whereas, this 1940 graduate of Aynor High School was a woman with ambition, and she demonstrated that ambition, as well as persistence in reaching her goals, when she and her husband founded their Conway restaurant, Donzelle's, in 1962. In this beloved family-owned and family-run diner, soul food and Southern hospitality have reigned supreme throughout the years, today with Donzelle and Dick's sons Larry and Russell Dickerson at the helm. In their turn, the Dickerson sons are training the next generation to carry on Donzelle and Dick's culinary legacy; and
Whereas, in addition, Donzelle Dickerson, a woman of faith, served her God as a member of Jamestown Baptist Church; and
Whereas, having been predeceased by her husband, she leaves to cherish her memory three sons, Ray Johnson, Larry Dickerson (Delores), and Russell Dickerson; grandchildren Timmy Johnson (Bridgette), Dennis Johnson, Mandy Cribb (Matt), Briggs Dickerson, Hunter Dickerson (Heidi), Marley Dickerson Crotts (David), Kendra Dickerson Hooks (Brandon), and Kara Dickerson Poston (Cliff); great-grandchildren Emma Johnson, Elijah Johnson, Ellis Johnson, Jo Audrey Johnson, Reese Sellers, Oakley Cribb, Rivers Dickerson, Drake Dickerson, Paxton Dickerson, Sailor Gray Dickerson, Levi Dickerson, Jase Dickerson, Kadence Poston, and Keagan Poston; adopted family Grady and Sandra Causey; and a host of other relatives and friends. She will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Donzelle Foxworth Dickerson of Conway and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Ray Johnson, Larry Dickerson, and Russell Dickerson for the family.
