VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF DOROTHY BURTON "DOT" SMITH OF AIKEN 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 death of Dorothy Burton "Dot" Smith at the age of seventy-eight on Friday, January 15, 2021; and
Whereas, born in Trenton, South Carolina, she was a daughter of the late Elijah F. and Samuella Padget Burton, and she was reared in a large and loving home with several siblings: Virginia Kemp and Robert E. Burton, both of Edgefield, and the late Frances Cook, Clara Burton, and Marshall Burton; and
Whereas, Mrs. Smith graduated from Edgefield High School and attended Peabody College in Nashville, Tennessee; and
Whereas, together with her beloved husband of fifty-nine years, Lionel Vance Smith, she reared two fine children, Kelli Renee Smith and Lionel Vance "Van" Smith, Jr.; and
Whereas, Mrs. Smith gave herself wholeheartedly to the ministrations of her family, and she was the consummate homemaker. She shared her love of adventure and travel with her husband, following him on bike trips across the country. She also traveled with a close group of friends across the states and in Europe; and
Whereas, alongside her husband, she helped open Lionel Smith, Ltd., a clothing store open still today, and later she transitioned into owning a health food store that continues to operate forty years later. She also worked alongside her daughter, Kelli, at KR Smythe & Co.; and
Whereas, when Mrs. Smith was blessed with grandchildren, she became a fulltime "GrandDot." She loved taking the grandchildren, Jessica, Madelyn, and Abigail Smith, known to her as the "JAM" girls, to lunch on Saturdays, along with her children, Lionel and Kelli; and
Whereas, an adventurous woman with many passions in life, she loved ballroom dancing, and the interests of her family and friends; and
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Dot Smith and for the example of friendship and service 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 Dorothy Burton "Dot" Smith of Aiken County and extend their deepest sympathy to her large and loving family and her many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Dorothy Burton "Dot" Smith.
