A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF GERALDINE LOCKLAIR ROLLINS, OF LEE COUNTY, AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Geraldine Locklair Rollins on April 27, 2008; and

Whereas, born in Lee County to the late Voncile Folsom Locklair and Clarence Locklair, she was known to friends as "Jerry" and was loved for her winsome smile and delicious home cooking; and

Whereas, during World War II, she contributed to the war effort by working at the Charleston Naval Shipyard, and later worked for many years in the office at the Kendall Company in Bethune; and

Whereas, Geraldine Rollins was married to her beloved husband, the late Louis L. "Knocker" Rollins, and reared four fine children: Louis "Bud" Rollins, George Rollins, Linda Rollins Jordan, and Karen Rollins McPherson. She also enjoyed the love of a host of adoring grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and

Whereas, Jerry was a member of St. Matthew United Methodist Church in Bishopville, and she lovingly used her home to watch out for and feed neighborhood children and to help others with a home-cooked meal whenever she saw a need; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives pause in their deliberations to express their sincere sympathy upon the death of Geraldine Locklair Rollins and to honor her memory. 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 Geraldine Locklair Rollins, of Lee County, and express their deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the children of Geraldine Locklair Rollins.
