A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE CLOTTIE HARLEY OF CALHOUN COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF HER ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND MUCH HAPPINESS IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

Whereas, on April 6, 2022, Clottie Harley of Calhoun County will awaken to the celebration of a milestone event: her one hundredth birthday; and

Whereas, born in Calhoun County, Clottie Harley came into this world on April 6, 1922, as the daughter and seventh child of Samuel and Rachel Culcleasure Major's nine children. The young Clottie attended the public schools of Calhoun County; and

Whereas, at an early age, she joined Bethlehem United Methodist Church, where she served faithfully and sang in the choir until her health began to decline. Now she enjoys attending worship service via conference call; and

Whereas, with God's blessing, she met and married Collie Harley, the Lord blessing them with eight children. These children, in turn, have blessed their parents with twenty-seven grandchildren, fifty-two great-grandchildren, and seventeen great-great-grandchildren; and

Whereas, at the end of her working career, Clottie retired from Starkes Laundry and Dry Cleaners. After retirement, she followed her passion of nurturing, which led her to serve as a caregiver for seniors in the community; and

Whereas, in addition, she enjoys cooking and entertaining her family and friends and attending and participating in church and community activities and events. She is also an active registered voter of Calhoun County; and

Whereas, this godly woman, who believes all things are possible through Christ, holds as her favorite scripture Proverbs 3:5 (KJV): "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding"; and

Whereas, to honor her at this very special time in her life, family and friends will join with Clottie to celebrate her centennial birthday on Saturday, April 9, 2022, at St. Peter AME Church; and

Whereas, it is a great pleasure to honor this daughter of South Carolina at the celebration of her one hundredth birthday, and the South Carolina House joins with her family and friends in congratulating her on reaching this important life milestone. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, congratulate Clottie Harley of Calhoun County on the occasion of her one hundredth birthday and wish her a joyous birthday celebration and much happiness in the days ahead.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Clottie Harley.
