TO COMMEND THE HONORABLE PATSY G. KNIGHT ON HER MERITORIOUS SERVICE IN THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OVER THE PAST TWELVE YEARS AND TO WISH HER CONTENTMENT AND SUCCESS IN ALL HER FUTURE ENDEAVORS.
Whereas, for twelve years, the Honorable Patsy G. Knight with faithful integrity has represented the citizens of Colleton and Dorchester counties, District 97, in the House of Representatives of this great State; and
Whereas, Patsy Knight's views on public service are grounded in her commitment to family, church, and community. This resident of Dorchester County gained many skills necessary for her public service as a South Carolina House member through her work in the community. She was the owner-operator of Knight's Bookkeeping and Tax Service, where she learned the importance of budgeting and fiscal responsibility. She brought this sound business approach to the operations of the family's convenience store, helping to establish and operate that business while at the same time managing the family farm; and
Whereas, during her time of service in the House of Representatives, Patsy Knight proved her worth as a member of the House Agriculture, Natural Resources & Environmental Affairs Committee, as well as the Education and Public Works Committee and Operations and Management Committee. As a legislator, she shared in the work of the House Democratic Caucus, South Carolina General Assembly Women's Caucus, House Arts Caucus, Rural Caucus, and Sportsman Caucus; and
Whereas, former Representative Knight believes strongly in personal involvement with her community, and her convictions have led her to serve that community, as well as the broader community of South Carolina and beyond, in several capacities. Past or present service includes membership in St. George Rotary International District #7770 (charter member); the Summerville/Dorchester Chamber of Commerce; Tri-County Chamber of Commerce; and South Carolina Association of Auditors, Treasurers and Tax Collectors (past vice president and president). By the latter organization, she was granted the prestigious L.H. "Sonny" Siau Award of Excellence; and
Whereas, an honorary member of the Civil Air Patrol and a Clemson University Palmetto Leadership graduate, Patsy also received the NAACP/St. George Branch's Community Service Image Award. As a woman of faith, she is a member of Indian Field United Methodist Church; and
Whereas, on the occasion of her departure from the House of Representatives, her House colleagues, grateful for Patsy Knight's committed service to this body and the people of District 97, extend warmest best wishes for much contentment and blessing in this new phase of her life. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, commend the Honorable Patsy G. Knight on her meritorious service in the South Carolina House of Representatives over the past twelve years and wish her contentment and success in all her future endeavors.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to our distinguished colleague, the Honorable Patsy G. Knight.
