A house RESOLUTION

 

To express profound sorrow upon the passing of Albertha "Mott" Gardner Ladson and to extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.

 

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of Albertha "Mott" Gardner Ladson's transition to glory on the morning of November 16, 2023; and

 

Whereas, a native of South Carolina, Mott was born on Warsaw Island on March 23, 1931. She received her education at the island's local public school. As a young lady, she became a member of Ebenezer Baptist Church under the leadership of Reverend C.B. Byrd; and

 

Whereas, Mott married her late husband Jonas Toby Ladson, Sr. on December 20, 1947. Together, they made their home on Saint Helena Island. The proud couple had four children, seven grandchildren, and a host of foster children; and

 

Whereas, Mott was known as a mother to all and was always willing to feed anyone in need of a meal. Her willingness to share her love with all she met earned her the title Queen Mother from her community. She was also known to be a genealogist and historian; she would run down the family line of anyone she met.

 

Whereas, after completing her transition from her earthly home to her heavenly home, Mott's memory is cherished by her three children, Lucinda Ladson (Josephus) Cohen, Michael Ladson, and Ethel Ladson Bryant; chosen children, Florence Shirl Barnet, John Fitzgerald Aiken, Joe Singleton, and Henry Lawton; as well as a host of grandchildren, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, foster children, and friends. With Mott, everyone was family, and she was a mother to all. Now, therefore,

 

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

 

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of Albertha "Mott" Gardner Ladson and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.

 

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Albertha "Mott" Gardner Ladson.
