TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF THORNWELL MAURICE HUNTER OF PAGELAND AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Thornwell Maurice Hunter of Pageland on May 21, 2012, at the age of eighty; and

Whereas, born the son of Henry Theodore Hunter and Flora Belle Hardin Hunter, Thornwell Maurice Hunter entered this world on June 15, 1931, in Chesterfield County; and

Whereas, a graduate of Cheraw High School, he was a retired supervisor with C.M. Tucker Lumber Company; and

Whereas, heeding the call of his country, Maurice Hunter served in the U.S. Air Force as a staff sergeant during the Korean War; and

Whereas, as a strong believer in active community involvement, Mr. Hunter demonstrated his commitment in various ways. He served as a member of the Pageland Town Council for ten years and was a life member and former captain of the Pageland Rescue Squad, as well as an EMS Instructor; and

Whereas, in addition, he was a former president of the Pageland High School Booster Club and member of Mt. Moriah Masonic Lodge #58, American Legion Post #92, and Pageland First Baptist Church, where he served as a deacon and Sunday School teacher; and

Whereas, he leaves to cherish his memory his beloved wife of fifty-seven years, Effie Lou Turnage Hunter; a son, Robbie Hunter; two daughters, Sherri Hunter Woodward and Missy Hunter Counts; four grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends. He will be 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 death of Thornwell Maurice Hunter of Pageland and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Mrs. Effie Lou Turnage Hunter for the family.
