TO CONGRATULATE HELEN JACKSON BROWN, A NATIVE OF YEMASSEE, ON THE OCCASION OF HER NINETY-FOURTH BIRTHDAY, AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND CONTINUED HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to learn that Helen Jackson Brown, a native of Yemassee, will celebrate her ninety-fourth birthday on August 19, 2012; and

Whereas, born on August 19, 1918, young Helen came into this world in the early part of the twentieth century, and she has been witness to many of the incredible changes and developments that have come to this nation from that time into the twenty-first century; and

Whereas, she was educated at South Carolina State University, graduating in 1941. Marriage in 1946 brought her and her husband, Freddie Perry (now deceased), a fine family of three children, Bruce, Nicholas, and Deidra, who have given their parents the joy of eight grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren; and

Whereas, widowed in 1962, Mrs. Perry, as she then was, retired from AT&T after fifteen years of service. She wed Charlie O'Garro in 1970 and resided in Mexico for two years before returning to her native State. After Mr. O'Garro's passing, she was married to James Brown, an old school friend, until his death in 2005; and

Whereas, Mrs. Brown, who still loves life, enjoys going on cruises and traveling to visit friends; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to honor this daughter of South Carolina at the celebration of her ninety-fourth birthday and joins with her family and friends in congratulating her on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Helen Jackson Brown, a native of Yemassee, on the occasion of her ninety-fourth birthday, and wish her a joyous birthday celebration and continued health and happiness.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Helen Jackson Brown.
