A house RESOLUTION

to EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE 
SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF Mrs. Dorothy "Dot" Cobb 
OF York COUNTY AND TO EXTEND THEIR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER LARGE AND LOVING 
FAMILY AND HER MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were saddened to learn of the death 
of Mrs. Dorothy Cobb at the age of eighty-six on April 14, 2026; and

Whereas, born in Sharon 
on March 11, 1940, she was the daughter of Eugenia McCleave and John Richard 
Feaster and was educated in the York School District. She graduated from 
Jefferson High School in 1959 and dedicated over thirty years of service to the 
York School District as a teacher's aide and an ISS proctor; and

Whereas, known for her 
firm but caring nature, her classroom earned the nickname "Cobb County," a 
testament to her reputation as a strict disciplinarian who deeply cared about 
her students' success. Mrs. Cobb retired in 2005; and

Whereas, at an early 
age, she accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and was a member of St. John 
Baptist Church in Sharon during her youth, and moved to Fishing Creek Baptist 
Church in York; and

Whereas, Mrs. Cobb 
served the congregation on the usher board at St. John Baptist and as assistant 
secretary of the Hymn Choir and chairman of Pastor Aide at Fishing Creek 
Baptist; and

Whereas, devoted to her 
community, Mrs. Cobb was a member of the Optimist Club and Shepherd Fold Lodge 
#22 of the A P & B Society and a life member of the Western York County 
NAACP. She remained actively involved in community affairs throughout her life 
and was well-known and respected by many for her strength, wisdom, and 
unwavering presence; and

Whereas, she especially 
loved to play Bid Whist, and seek and find puzzles, read books, listen to 
church music, contribute to the community back-to-school drive, and dance. Many 
friends enjoyed the delicious honeybun cakes she made for those in the 
community. Mrs. Cobb was a devoted grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother; 
and

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and 
legacy of Dot Cobb and for the example of service and kindness she set for all 
who knew her. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the passing of Mrs. Dorothy 
"Dot" Cobb of York County and extend their deepest sympathy to her large and 
loving family and her many friends.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Mrs. Dorothy "Dot" 
Cobb.
