Whereas, born in Madison, Alabama, Beulah Peoples Bristow was the daughter of Ezell and Ben Peoples.

Whereas, in preparation for her career, Mrs. Bristow studied at Columbia Commercial College.

After retirement, she began working for Modern Bride and Groom, now known as Jordan's Modern Bride and Groom, and presently she works from home as a seamstress; and

Whereas, believing in active involvement in her community, Mrs. Bristow is a member of Youngs Chapel AME in Irmo, where she serves as pastor's steward, church treasurer, and missionary. She also works with pulpit aid, the stewardess board, and women's ministry. She was granted the Unsung Hero Award for the Lay Organization, as well as the P.I.E. Award in 2008, and was named Woman of the Year in 1987 by the Ladies of Culture Federal Girls Club; and

Whereas, spare time finds her indulging in her favorite pastimes of sewing, cooking, and garage shopping; and

Whereas, married for forty-four years to the late Eddie Bristow, Sr., Mrs. Bristow and her dear husband lovingly parented three children, Judy, Eddie, Jr., and Shelton, who have given their parents the joy of six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren; and

Whereas, her family plans to mark Mrs. Bristow's new status as an octogenarian with a birthday celebration to be held April 3, 2011, at Saluda Shoals Park; and

Whereas, the Senate is proud to honor this truly lovely lady at the celebration of her eightieth birthday and joins with her family and friends in congratulating her on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Mrs. Beulah Peoples Bristow on the occasion of her eightieth birthday and wish her a joyous birthday celebration and continued health and happiness.
