A SENATE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPON THE PASSING OF CHELLIE BELLAMY OF HORRY 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 Chellie Bellamy on May 25, 2010; and

Whereas, a native of Little River in Horry County, Chellie Bellamy was born on February 14, 1913, the daughter of Nathan and Amanda Stanley. She attended community schools since there were no public schools in her day; and

Whereas, she worshipped her God at Mt. Calvary #2 Missionary Baptist Church, having joined the church at an early age, and served there in many capacities until health considerations required her to be less active. She was a member of the Senior Choir, Mothers' Board, and Missionary Society and was the oldest Mother of the Church; and

Whereas, Aunt Chellie, as she was called by many, for many years was employed at the home of the Barnhill family, where she nurtured and cared for their children. Later, she became a farmer. A favorite with her neighbors, she enjoyed walking through the community, visiting, helping others, and cracking jokes that made both young and old laugh; and

Whereas, preceded in death by her beloved husband, Lester S. Bellamy, she leaves to cherish her memory son Lester D. Bellamy, grandson Terry Bellamy, great-granddaughter Jocelyn Bellamy, and a host of other relatives and friends. She will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Chellie Bellamy of Horry County, and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Lester D. Bellamy for the family.
