TO SALUTE AND EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO REPRESENTATIVE MARY BETH FREEMAN OF CHERAW FOR HER OUTSTANDING, DEDICATED SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF CHESTERFIELD COUNTY AND THE STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO WISH HER GOOD HEALTH AND HAPPINESS ON THE OCCASION OF HER RETIREMENT FROM THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Whereas, Representative Mary Beth Freeman of Chesterfield County is retiring from her position as a member of the House of Representatives after faithfully serving since 2001; and

Whereas, Mary Beth Freeman's contributions to the Agriculture, Natural Resources and Environmental Affairs Committee will be sorely missed by the members of this committee and the House of Representatives; and

Whereas, Representative Freeman was born July 22, 1938, in Chesterfield to the late Leon Barton and Maggie Lee Streater Robeson; and

Whereas, a 1956 graduate of Chesterfield High School, Representative Freeman married Preston R. Freeman on November 11, 1956. They have two children, Preston R. Freeman, Jr., and Elizabeth F. Roumillat; and

Whereas, active in her community, Representative Freeman has been a member of the Cheraw United Way, Cheraw Rotary Club, and the Cheraw School District Advisory Board; and

Whereas, Representative Freeman also has been active in the leadership of the United Methodist Women local, district, and conference levels and served on the Cheraw Town Council from 1984 until 1992; and

Whereas, it is proper and fitting that the members of the House of Representatives pause in their deliberations to recognize and pay tribute to Mary Beth Freeman of Cheraw and her admirable tenure in the House of Representatives. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, salute and express gratitude to Representative Mary Beth Freeman of Cheraw for her outstanding, dedicated service to the people of Chesterfield County and the State of South Carolina, and wish her good health and happiness on the occasion of her retirement from the House of Representatives.
