A concurrent RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE GLENN AND ALLIE WILLIAMS OF 
GREENWOOD COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR FIFTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND TO 
EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR MUCH CONTINUED HAPPINESS AND FULFILLMENT.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to learn that David Glenn 
Williams and Alice Adams Williams of Greenwood County will celebrate their 
fiftieth wedding anniversary on December 31, 2026; and

Whereas, few successes 
in life are greater than a marriage that endures the test of time, for the long-lasting 
love and support of a spouse are unmatched in their importance and cannot be 
overestimated; and

Whereas, married on 
December 31, 1976, at Cokesbury College in Hodges, South Carolina, Glenn and 
Allie Williams have demonstrated a fifty-year commitment to one another in the 
institution of holy matrimony; and

Whereas, Glenn and 
Allie, having been born and raised in Greenwood County and having lived all 
their lives there as contributing citizens, have earned the admiration and 
appreciation of their community; and

Whereas, blessed with 
two children, Fred Williams of Columbia and David Williams of Athens, Georgia, 
the senior Williamses also have experienced the deep joy of four loving 
grandchildren and two devoted and caring daughters-in-law, all of whom have 
enriched their lives; and

Whereas, having managed 
his family's logging and forestry business with his father and brother most of 
his working life, Glenn has continued to give back to his community following 
his retirement. He builds houses and serves in numerous leadership roles, 
including as Sunday school teacher, at Main Street United Methodist Church. In 
addition to participating in local politics and running marathons, Glenn has received 
his second college degree from Lander University and is working on a third. He 
is a model of entrepreneurship, hard work, public service, and lifelong 
learning; and

Whereas, an ultimate 
example of a loving mother, devoted teacher, and selfless human being, Allie 
Williams spent decades teaching the two-year-old class at Noah's Ark preschool 
while also raising two children. She retired from teaching in Greenwood's 
public schools, having run a vacation Bible club with Glenn for over a decade, 
and she continues to be one of the most vital and integral members of her 
church; and

Whereas, their faith in 
Jesus Christ, love for one another, dedication to their family, and service to 
their neighbors are an inspiration to all who have had the privilege of knowing 
them; and

Whereas, it is with 
great pleasure that the members of the South Carolina General Assembly express 
their congratulations to these two special South Carolinians on reaching the 
milestone of their golden wedding anniversary. Now, therefore,

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

That the members of the 
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate Glenn and 
Allie Williams of Greenwood County on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding 
anniversary and extend best wishes for much continued happiness and 
fulfillment.

Be it further resolved that 
a copy of this resolution be presented to Glenn and Allie Williams.
