Whereas, Martha M. Rich of the Westside community of Edgefield

and
Whereas, lovingly called "Miz Martha" by all who knew her, she was
a popular public servant of Edgefield County; she had retired last
summer after more than thirty years in county government; for the
last fifteen years she had served as Edgefield County's Assistant
Administrator and had served for five months as Acting
Administrator in late 1995 and early 1996; and
Whereas, Miz Martha gave freely of her time, talents, and energy to
countless civic and community causes and endeavors; she was a
dedicated and efficient public servant and constantly sought to do the
best for Edgefield County; she was also a devoted member of Red
Oak Grove Baptist Church, where she was an active member of the
church's W.M.U. and an assistant teacher in the Sunday School; and
Whereas, Miz Martha was a truly outstanding individual; she was
respected, admired, and loved by all who knew her; and her presence
will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the Senate of the State of South Carolina, by
this resolution, express profound sorrow at the death of Martha M.
Rich, a leading citizen of Edgefield County, and extend deepest
sympathy to her family and friends.
