TO CONGRATULATE ELIZABETH MIXSON-ROBINSON, A NATIVE OF HAMPTON COUNTY, ON THE OCCASION OF HER NINETY-THIRD BIRTHDAY, AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND CONTINUED HEALTH AND HAPPINESS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are delighted to learn that Elizabeth Mixson-Robinson, a native of Hampton County, will celebrate her ninety-third birthday on June 8, 2012; and
Whereas, born in the Barkersville community of Early Branch to Mattie Sanders and Charlie Mixson, young Elizabeth came into this world on June 8, 1919, in the early part of the twentieth century, and she has been witness to many of the incredible changes and developments that have come to this nation from that time into the twenty-first century; and
Whereas, she and her husband, Douglas Robinson, Sr. (deceased), raised a fine family of two children, Joyce and Douglas, Jr., who have given their parents the joy of two grandchildren; and
Whereas, while she was a housewife who worked at home, this did not keep her from doing whatever she could to help support the family. She was a spotless housekeeper and raised her children herself, in spite of losing her eyesight during the birth of her son; and
Whereas, a woman of faith, she joined Springhill Baptist Church at an early age and served there for many years before joining Barkersville Holiness Church, where she is still an active member who loves to sing and praise God; and
Whereas, the House of Representatives is pleased to honor this daughter of South Carolina at the celebration of her ninety-third birthday and joins with her family and friends in congratulating her on reaching this extraordinary milestone. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Elizabeth Mixson-Robinson, a native of Hampton County, on the occasion of her ninety-third birthday, and wish her a joyous birthday celebration and continued health and happiness.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Elizabeth Mixson-Robinson.
