A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
EXPRESSING THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS
OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT THE DEATH OF THE
HONORABLE JEAN LANEY HARRIS OF CHERAW,
DISTINGUISHED MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES, AND EXTENDING DEEPEST
SYMPATHY TO HER WONDERFUL FAMILY AND MANY
FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the General Assembly were deeply
saddened to learn of the death on Sunday, January 26, 1997, of The
Honorable Jean Laney Harris, who had served continuously in the
House of Representatives since 1979; and
Whereas, during her eighteen years in the House of Representatives,
she was Chairman of the Joint Legislative Committee on Cultural
Affairs and was an outspoken advocate and ardent supporter of the
arts and cultural resources of the State; she had been Second and First
Vice Chairman of the House Operations and Management
Committee, had served on the House Labor, Commerce and Industry
Committee, and at the time of her death, served as a member on the
powerful House Ways and Means Committee and the State House
Committee; and
Whereas, Jean Harris was an outstanding individual and active civic
leader who sacrificed much to be a full-time governmental leader and
dedicated public servant; yet she found the time to be thoroughly
devoted to her family, whose love and support enabled her, and
encouraged her, to serve the Palmetto State; and
Whereas, she was a great friend to her community and known as an
avid supporter of Cheraw State Park, whose golf course is named
after her; and
Whereas, she was committed to historic preservation efforts locally
and statewide; and
Whereas, she was a former board member of the Spoleto Festival,
Coker College, and the Governor's School for the Arts; and
Whereas, she was the recipient of many honors and awards,
including: recognition for her contributions to art education in South
Carolina (1987); appreciation for faithful service by the Chesterfield
County Mental Retardation Board (1990); Clemson University
Extension Service Award for outstanding service in Chesterfield
County (1991); award for extraordinary services to higher education
by the University of South Carolina (1991); award of excellence in
appreciation of continued contributions to the quality of life and
economic development of the Cheraw area by the Greater Cheraw
Chamber of Commerce (1993); South Carolina Alliance for Arts
Education (1993); Meritorious Service Award by the South Carolina
Governor's School for the Arts (1994); and Friends of Chesterfield
for outstanding service by the Greater Chesterfield Chamber of
Commerce (1994); and
Whereas, she is survived by her husband, The Honorable Charles
Anthony Harris, a former member of the House of Representatives
and the South Carolina Senate and retired Judge of the Fourth
Judicial Circuit; four children, Lorraine Harris Knight and Anthony,
Meg, and Frederick Harris; a grandson, Harris Knight; a brother,
Campbell Laney; and a sister, Ethel Ann Streater; and
Whereas, the loss of this outstanding and distinguished colleague
leaves a void which can never be adequately filled; and
Whereas, she departed this life with tremendous respect, admiration,
and love from countless devoted friends and associates; and
Whereas, we want the family and the many friends of The Honorable
Jean Laney Harris to know that they are uppermost in our thoughts
and prayers and have our deepest sympathy and love. Now,
therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That the members of the General Assembly of the State of South
Carolina, by this resolution, express profound sorrow at the death of
The Honorable Jean Laney Harris of Cheraw, distinguished member
of the House of Representatives, and extend deepest sympathy to her
wonderful family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
her husband, The Honorable Charles Anthony Harris.
