TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA GENERAL ASSEMBLY UPON THE DEATH OF MRS. JULIE ETTA WASHINGTON NANCE OF ORANGEBURG AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, deeply saddened at the news, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly have learned of the death of Mrs. Julie Etta Washington Nance of Orangeburg on December 30, 2012; and
Whereas, Julie Nance devoted her entire life to South Carolina State College and the Orangeburg community. Although she gave of her time and resources to both in many ways, she was most noted for, and most proud of, her role as First Lady of South Carolina State College, where she served from 1967 to 1986. Her quiet charm, elegance, and fondness for young people were reflected throughout her tenure as First Lady, and she made the president's residence a home for all. She nurtured students, provided leadership to faculty and staff, and served the community with both dignity and honor; and
Whereas, for her lifetime of dedicated service, Mrs. Nance received numerous awards, among them the South Carolina State University (SCSU) Distinguished Alumna Award and the Sammie Davis Jr. Life Membership Achievement Award through the NAACP, of which she was a lifetime member; and
Whereas, in addition, she held life memberships in the SCSU Alumni Association and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. A woman of faith, she was a member of Williams Chapel AME Church and the Links, Inc., as well as an emeritus member of the Regional Medical Center Foundation Board. Believing strongly in active participation in the community, she lived out that conviction; and
Whereas, preceded in death by her husband, Dr. M. Maceo Nance, Jr., she leaves to cherish her memory two sons, I. Maceo Nance and Robert M. Nance; five grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and a host of other relatives and friends. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of Mrs. Julie Etta Washington Nance of Orangeburg and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to I. Maceo Nance for the family.
