A senate RESOLUTION

to congratulate Mary Elizabeth "Maribeth" Rollings 
Werts upon the occasion of her retirement, to commend her for her more than 
forty years of dedicated service to the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council, 
and to wish her much happiness and fulfillment in the years ahead.

Whereas, it is 
altogether fitting and proper that the Senate should pause in its deliberations 
to express appreciation and gratitude to Mary Elizabeth "Maribeth" Rollings Werts 
who has served the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council with dedication and 
distinction for more than forty years, and whose contributions have 
significantly enhanced the agency; and

Whereas, a native of 
Saluda County, Maribeth was born to parents Dr. Robert Chapman Rollings and 
Jessie Morrow Atkinson; and

Whereas, beginning her 
state government career by joining the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council 
in 1985, Maribeth has worked under the leadership of all four of the council's directors 
of the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council: the late George L. Schroeder, 
the late Thomas J. Bardin Jr., Perry Simpson, and current Director K. Earle 
Powell; and

Whereas, Maribeth has 
served as an integral member of the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council's 
administrative team and has been an important conduit to administrative 
divisions within other state agencies; and

Whereas, Maribeth has 
been the welcoming face of the South Carolina Legislative Audit Council, and 
her commitment to the State of South Carolina is evident in her professionalism 
and enthusiasm for her work; and

Whereas, to perform her 
daily work duties over the past forty-plus years, Maribeth has traveled 
approximately one million miles to and from work between Saluda County and 
Columbia; and

Whereas, the South 
Carolina Senate extends deepest gratitude to Maribeth, who has exemplified 
dedication and excellence in her work, and offer her best wishes for a 
fulfilling and enjoyable retirement. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate:

That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, congratulate Mary 
Elizabeth "Maribeth" Rollings Werts upon the occasion of her retirement, 
commend her for her more than forty years of dedicated service to the South 
Carolina Legislative Audit Council, and wish her much happiness and fulfillment 
in the years ahead.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to Mary Elizabeth "Maribeth" Rollings Werts.
