A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS PROFOUND SORROW UPON THE PASSING OF DIANA 
MATTHEWS FLOYD, TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS, 
AND TO COMMEND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DIANA M. FLOYD SCHOLARSHIP FUND.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina General Assembly were deeply saddened to learn of the death 
of Diana Matthews Floyd on November 2, 2024; and

Whereas, Mrs. Floyd was 
born in Kingstree on March 27, 1963, to parents Harry Milton Matthews and Kay 
Huggins Matthews. She was raised in Florence and received her BSN from the 
Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston; and

Whereas, a healthcare 
professional, Mrs. Floyd worked in intensive care units for newborns and 
children and ultimately became the Director of Women's Services of Aiken 
Regional Medical Center; and

Whereas, Mrs. Floyd's 
nursing career brought her to Hitchcock Healthcare as the Director of Pediatric 
Rehabilitation Therapy. She devoted her energy to caring for children, and her 
efforts included working with local schools to mainstream students with special 
needs into general education classrooms; introducing a sensory integration 
treatment room for children with autism spectrum disorder; and advocating for 
better funding and resource availability for pediatric therapy; and

Whereas, after moving 
on from her full-time healthcare career, Mrs. Floyd invested her time in Aiken 
community development and in her local business. She also worked as a pediatric 
nurse at Southside Pediatrics; and

Whereas, Mrs. Floyd's greatest 
impact on Aiken County was significant. In 2014, she led the grassroots 
campaign to approve the implementation of the one-cent sales tax to fund local public 
school infrastructure projects. This approval resulted in millions of dollars of 
capital infrastructure improvements to transform many schools in the Aiken 
County School District; and

Whereas, over the 
years, Mrs. Floyd received a number of honors and awards, including the Woman 
of the Year award in 2014 by the Greater Aiken Chamber of Commerce; and

Whereas, in her free 
time, she enjoyed spending time with her family, tending to her garden, 
fostering puppies, and tailgating at Clemson football games; and

Whereas, in Mrs. 
Floyd's honor, every year beginning with 2025, a graduating senior from each of 
the public high schools in Aiken County will be awarded a scholarship. The 
selected seniors will be students who have shown determination to pursue a 
degree in the medical field and who display the character and determination embodied 
by Mrs. Floyd and her great impact; and

Whereas, Mrs. Floyd has 
been and will continue to be greatly missed. Her legacy lives on in her impact 
on Aiken County, in the lives of those she served through her career in 
healthcare, and in the scholarship that will enable and embolden future 
healthcare professionals. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the South Carolina General 
Assembly, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of Diana 
Matthews Floyd, extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends, and 
commend the establishment of the Diana M. Floyd Scholarship fund.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this 
resolution be presented to the family of Diana Matthews Floyd.
