A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE MARY ELIZABETH MARTIN EMBLER ON THE 
OCCASION OF HER 100TH BIRTHDAY AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION 
AND MUCH HAPPINESS IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

Whereas, on April 1, 
2025, Mary Elizabeth Martin Embler will awaken to the celebration of a 
milestone event: her 100th birthday; and

Whereas, born on April 
1, 1925, in the first quarter of the twentieth century, native South Carolinian 
Mary Embler 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. Although she was 
born on April Fool's Day, Mary is no fool; in fact, this charming Southern lady 
is known for her razor-sharp mind, and she always has been a "people person," 
relishing time spent with family and friends, who help keep her young at heart; 
and

Whereas, while the 
young Mary was living in Clinton, she met and married William H. Embler, then a 
student at Presbyterian College. The Lord blessed their union with two 
delightful children, son William Martin Embler and daughter Diane Embler Harbin, 
and in the fullness of time the Embler children gave their parents the joy of 
two grandchildren, six great-grandchildren, and eight great-great-grandchildren, 
who love their "Mama Mae." (Mary to the rest of us!) Mary and her William 
enjoyed a marriage of more than seventy-two years before his passing; and

Whereas, the talented 
Mary, an Anderson beautician for many years, enjoyed an enviable reputation in 
that city for keeping its women properly coiffed. During her working years, she 
formed many lasting friendships among her clients; and

Whereas, in addition, Mary 
has always loved her home and yard and taken great pride in her flower gardens. 
Even today, neighbors might see her with a hedge trimmer in her hands; and

Whereas, as a woman of 
faith, Mary Embler finds her spiritual home at Pope Drive Baptist Church in 
Anderson, where she serves the Lord as a devoted member. She is quick to tell 
anyone that God has richly blessed her throughout her life; and

Whereas, to honor her 
at this very special time in her life, family and friends will join with Mary 
to celebrate her centennial birthday on Saturday, March 29, 2025, at Enoree 
Baptist Church in Travelers Rest; and

Whereas, it is a great 
pleasure to honor this daughter of South Carolina at the celebration of her 
100th 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 
Mary Elizabeth Martin Embler on the occasion of her 100th 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 Mary Elizabeth Martin Embler.
