Whereas, Mrs. Rosa Lee Scipio Henry of Richland County died January 6, 2006, just before reaching the milestone of ninety-four years of age; and
Whereas, Mrs. Henry spent those fruitful years well, raising a family of eight biological children with her beloved late husband, Jesse Henry, and touching scores of other lucky children with her maternal spirit; and
Whereas, her large and loving family learned many lessons at her knee, not the least of which was an exemplary work ethic that won for her many commendations for her efforts from the employers and staffs at Fort Jackson, State Mental Hospital, and Midlands Center; and
Whereas, Mrs. Henry also committed herself fully to her faith, serving for more than fifty years as Deaconess, Missionary, and leader of the Jubilee Choir at Zion Baptist Church in Eastover; and, later, as Deaconess and member of the Women's Missionary, Senior Sunday School, and Prayer Ministry at Zion Canaan Baptist Church in Columbia; and
Whereas, the State of South Carolina has a long tradition of strong and faithful women passing on their lessons of strength and faith. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, honors the memory of the late Mrs. Rosa Lee Scipio Henry of Richland County and celebrates her dedication to her family and community.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the large and loving family of Mrs. Henry.
