A HOUSE RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF JEAN DEHAY GUERRY OF JAMESTOWN AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Jean DeHay Guerry of Jamestown on February 16, 2022, at the venerable age of ninety-two; and
Whereas, born to David McCants DeHay and Marguerite Todd DeHay, Jean entered this world on December 26, 1929, in Moncks Corner. In God's time, she met and married Cecil B. Guerry, the Lord blessing their union with a fine family of four children; and
Whereas, in addition to being a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Jean used her many talents and skills in an array of duties outside the home, including playing the piano every Sunday for fifty years at St. James United Methodist Church and developing a nationally recognized butterfly garden at Jamestown Park; and
Whereas, further, she was a valued member of the South Carolina Historical Society and Daughters of the American Revolution; a charter member of the Berkeley County Historical Society; and a longtime member of Jamestown Town Council (Berkeley County), a position in which she served until her passing. She also played an important role in organizing the Hell Hole Swamp Festival; and
Whereas, predeceased by her husband, Cecil B. Guerry, as well as two sons, C. Spencer Guerry and Douglas C. Guerry, Jean Guerry leaves to cherish her memory a daughter, Carol Guerry (husband Marshall Allen) of Moncks Corner; a son, Mark Guerry (wife Mary Robin) of Moncks Corner; a daughter-in-law, Sally Guerry; six grandchildren, Caroline Nettles, Paul Nettles, Ryan Guerry, James Guerry, Mia G. Koehler, and Megan Guerry; seven great-grandchildren; and a host of other friends and family members. She will be fondly remembered and greatly missed. 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 Jean DeHay Guerry of Jamestown and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.
Whereas, be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Carol Guerry for the family.
