TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF SUSIE ISAAC CARTER OF WISACKY AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, deeply saddened at the news, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives have learned of the death of Susie Isaac Carter of Wisacky on February 13, 2013, at the venerable age of ninety-seven; and
Whereas, born the daughter of White and Susie Jackson Isaac in Wisacky, Susie Isaac Carter came into this world on December 12, 1915. After the passing of her parents, she was raised by Henry and Ethel Isaac, her brother and sister-in-law. The young Susie grew up with deep spiritual convictions; and
Whereas, she attended the Cooper Mill School in her hometown, and her spiritual growth was further enriched through faithful attendance at New Zion AME Church; and
Whereas, while working at New Zion, she met Roland Carter. They were married in 1933, God blessing their union with six children, whom they raised in the fear and nurture of the Lord; and
Whereas, as an active church member, Susie served in the Gospel Choir and on the Usher Board and Stewardess Board. In addition, she was a missionary and culinary hostess. As time passed, she found new joy and spiritual growth at Gethsemane Apostolic Church, where she served faithfully under the ministry of Bishop Calvin McNeil; and
Whereas, to her family, neighbors, and friends, Susie was a mentor and comforter, a helping hand in time of trouble; and
Whereas, preceded in death by her beloved husband, Roland, oldest son, Willie, four sisters, four brothers, and three grandchildren, Susie Isaac Carter leaves to cherish her memory her children, Roland Carter, Jr., Henry Carter, Lovolia Isaac, Jacqueline Monroe, and Josephine Wright; fourteen grandchildren; twenty-three great-grandchildren; fifteen great-great-grandchildren; and a host of other family members and friends. She will be greatly missed. 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 Susie Isaac Carter of Wisacky and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Roland Carter, Jr., for the family.
