TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPON THE DEATH OF PAULINE RIVERS JORDAN OF LEXINGTON COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Pauline Rivers Jordan of Lexington County on February 5, 2012; and

Whereas, the daughter of William Frederick Rivers and Nettie Hinson Rivers of Chesterfield, Pauline Rivers Jordan was born August 14, 1921; and

Whereas, after graduating from high school as salutatorian in 1939, she married John Leslie Jordan and worked in the Chesterfield County Probate Court. Having moved to Columbia, she worked for Shakespeare Company, from which she retired after thirty-three years of dedicated service; and

Whereas, in addition, for fifteen years Mrs. Jordan worked part-time for Parties, Etc. Catering, Inc., co-owned by her daughter, Linda, and her devoted and beloved friend, Faye Holland; and

Whereas, a woman of faith, Pauline Jordan served her God as a loyal member of State Street Baptist Church, where she taught Sunday School for more than fifty years. She worked enthusiastically with many church organizations and projects; and

Whereas, believing in active community involvement, Mrs. Jordan was a member of the Cayce Garden Club, Order of the Eastern Star (Cayce Chapter), and Lexington County Republican Party. She was also the editor of the Shakespeare newsletter Fish Tales; and

Whereas, at home, when family and friends gathered on special occasions and for holiday feasts, she proved her well-deserved reputation as an expert baker and talented cook and created fond memories for all.
