A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE GRACE SOWELL 
ROBERTS OF KERSHAW ON THE OCCASION OF HER ONE HUNDREDTH BIRTHDAY AND TO WISH 
HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION AND MUCH HAPPINESS IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

Whereas, on Thursday, July 3, 2025, Grace Sowell Roberts of Kershaw 
will awaken to the celebration of a milestone event: her one hundredth 
birthday; and

Whereas, born on July 3, 1925, in the first quarter of the twentieth 
century, Grace has witnessed the many remarkable social changes, technological 
advancements, and international developments that have spanned the globe from 
that time into the first quarter of the twenty-first century; and

Whereas, in the fullness of time, the young Grace, daughter of the 
late Edgar Luther and Ila Naomi Gay Sowell, met and married her beloved 
husband, Truman Roberts, the Lord blessing the happy couple with a delightful 
family: their daughter, Celia; two grandchildren, Scott and Stacey; and four 
great-grandchildren, Savanna, Hunter, Caroline, and Xander; and

Whereas, as a woman of faith, Grace Roberts finds her spiritual home 
at Kershaw Second Baptist Church, where she has taught Sunday school for more 
than sixty years, in addition to her past active involvement with numerous 
other church organizations. In more recent days, she has been honored as the 
church's oldest member; and

Whereas, without a license or formal training, Grace taught a sort of 
mathematics through her example when she added the values of love and hard work 
to her life; subtracted a can't-do attitude from her mind; multiplied these 
concepts in her home, church, and community; and divided them among her loved 
ones; and

Whereas, it is a great pleasure to honor this daughter of South 
Carolina at the celebration of her one hundredth birthday, and it is a further 
pleasure to join with her family and friends in congratulating her on reaching 
this important life milestone. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South 
Carolina House of Representatives, by this 
resolution, congratulate Grace Sowell Roberts of Kershaw on the occasion of her 
one hundredth birthday and wish her a joyous birthday celebration and much 
happiness in the days ahead.

Be it further resolved that a copy 
of this resolution be presented to Grace Sowell Roberts.
