Whereas, the South Carolina General Assembly is pleased to learn that Maggie Lane of Sumter County has been named to a place of honor in Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church's "Grand Salute to Local Heroes" for her many accomplishments and contributions to her home county; and

Whereas, in further celebration of Maggie Lane's achievements, the City of Sumter joined with Jehovah Missionary Baptist to honor her by proclaiming Sunday, October 13, 2013, as "Maggie Lane Day" in the City of Sumter; and

Whereas, born the seventh of ten children to William and Maggie Kirkland Davis of Rembert, the young Maggie graduated from Lincoln High School and attended Morris College; and

Whereas, having worked thirty-five years for Sumter County, Maggie Lane retired as major in charge of Operations for the Sumter County Detention Center; and

Whereas, Ms. Lane accomplished all this while raising her five children as a single mother. She made time to support them (and later her grandchildren and great-grandchildren) actively in the midst of a busy career; and

Whereas, as a woman of faith, Maggie Lane serves her God as a faithful member of Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church, where she has been a part of the Pastor Support Ministry and Evangelism Ministry for a number of years; and

Whereas, the members of the General Assembly recognize that the success of the State of South Carolina, the strength of its communities, and the vitality of American society as a whole depend, in great measure, upon the dedication of individuals like Maggie Lane who use their talents and resources to serve others. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, recognize Maggie Lane of Sumter County for her many years of public service to her community, as well as her inspirational example of a life well lived, and congratulate her on being honored in the roll call of Jehovah Missionary Baptist Church's "Grand Salute to Local Heroes."
