A senate RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE 
SOUTH CAROLINA SENATE UPON THE PASSING OF MRS. MARY FRANCES HUGHES OF RICHLAND 
COUNTY, TO CELEBRATE HER LIFE, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY 
AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened by the passing of Mrs. Mary 
Frances Hughes of Richland County on January 11, 2025, at the venerable age of 
89; and

Whereas, affectionately 
known to many as "Nana," Frances came into this world on September 6, 1935, in 
Eastover, the fourth of seven children born to the late Willie and Beatrice 
Craft McMillan; and

Whereas, the young 
Frances accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior and was baptized at an early 
age. She was educated in the public schools of Richland County and graduated as 
valedictorian from Webber High School. Upon graduation, she wed her high school 
sweetheart, Franklin D. Washington, the Lord blessing their union with a son, 
Franklin Ronald Washington. Sadly, both husband and son preceded her in death; 
and

Whereas, in 1964, while 
working at Fort Jackson Army Base, Frances met the love of her life, David 
Hughes Jr. The two were married later that year and raised two daughters, Myra 
and Fern, along with Ronald. Their marriage sustained overseas military 
deployments and periods of time when David was stationed away from Fort 
Jackson. Frances worked tirelessly to raise her children and care for her 
family while working full-time as a military personnel clerk for the U.S. 
Department of Defense. In 1993, she retired from the Trainee/Student Processing 
Center after thirty-two years of exceptional and compassionate service; and

Whereas, this woman of 
faith was a dedicated member of Saint John Baptist Church for more than sixty 
years. She served on the Saint John Baptist Deaconess Board, where she was 
infant dedication coordinator for many years, and she was a member of the Nannie 
Burroughs Missionary Circle, which she served as treasurer. Further, she was 
treasurer for the Burton Heights-Standish Acres Community Association and a 
member of the Order of the Eastern Star; and

Whereas, when Frances 
had spare time, she and David enjoyed bowling; fishing; and playing Bingo, 
Pokeno, and Pinochle. Frances also was a great cook and loved to bake delicious 
pound cakes. When people visited her home, she would often say, "You may not 
find a lot of money here, but you'll certainly get a stomachful"; and

Whereas, Frances leaves 
to cherish her memory her husband, Deacon David Hughes Jr.; her daughters, Myra 
(Steve) Foster of Lake Wylie and Fern (Melron) Kelly of Columbia; her 
grandchildren, Jaida and Joi Foster, as well as Myles and Morgan Kelly; bonus 
grandchildren Brittney and Stevie (Nicky) Foster; great-grandson Maverick; and 
a host of other loving family members and friends. She will be greatly missed. 
Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express their 
profound sorrow upon the passing of Mrs. Mary Frances Hughes of Richland 
County, celebrate her life, 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.
