TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPON THE DEATH OF JOHNNIE MAE GORE 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 Johnnie Mae Gore of Horry County on April 20, 2012, at the venerable age of eighty-two; and
Whereas, married to the late Charlie Thelton Gore, Sr., a World War II veteran, Mrs. Gore was a faithful member of Mt. Calvary #2 Missionary Baptist Church in Little River for more than fifty years. Among the numerous ways in which she served her church, she was a dedicated member of the missionary board and senior choir; and
Whereas, Mrs. Gore, known for her compassionate heart, devoted countless hours in providing home-cooked meals to the sick and shut-in, as well as to bereaved families; and
Whereas, in addition to raising her own children, she also provided motherly care to other children in the community, counting these young ones as extended family. Mrs. Gore had a special concern for veterans and expended much time visiting sick veterans and providing meals for them, as well as sharing her faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; and
Whereas, she leaves to cherish her memory her children, sons Kenneth, Tim, Carlton, Gene, Bill, Delton, Tony, Thelton, Melton, Milton, and Clyde, and daughters Deloria Armstrong, and BeBe Sanders and a host of other relatives and friends. She will be dearly 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 death of Johnnie Mae Gore 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 provided to Milton L. Gore for the family.
