VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
A house RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA House of Representatives UPON THE PASSING OF Rosa jane "Janie" Simmons Johnson of Beaufort COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THEir DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO Her large and loving FAMILY AND her MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the passing of Mrs. Rosa Jane "Janie "Simmons Johnson, on December 28, 2024, at the venerable age of ninety-six; and
Whereas, born on St. Helena Island on November 25, 1928, she was the daughter of Robert E. and Mary Middleton Simmons. Their blended family included an older brother and two younger brothers. Losing their mother at a young age, the children were raised by their father and his third wife, Lillian Moultrie Simmons, who added ten additional children to the family; and
Whereas, Mrs. Johnson was educated at Towne McDonald Elementary School and later attended Penn Normal Industrial and Agricultural School. She accepted Christ at an early age and was a faithful deaconess and choir member of Faith Memorial Baptist Church on St. Helena Island; and
Whereas, she was united in marriage to Deacon James R. Johnson. Together they raised two children, James and Mairiaim (Mia). Her husband and a stepson, Nathaniel Bobby Daise, preceded her in death. During her long life, Mrs. Johnson enjoyed entertaining guests at her home, traveling, and cooking. An avid gardener, she loved beautiful flowers and often received them from family members and friends; and
Whereas, in her later years, both children eventually returned home to care for their elderly parents. Her sisters, cousins, and a cadre of nieces, nephews, and loving friends also stepped in over the years to provide caregiver comfort and support; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Mrs. Janie Simmons Johnson and for the example of service and kindness she set for all who knew her. 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 passing of Mrs. Rosa Jane "Janie" Simmons Johnson of Beaufort County and extend their deepest sympathy to her large and loving family and her many friends.
