A house RESOLUTION

TO HONOR AND CONGRATULATE ANDREA MASSIE VAUGHN, U.S. 
PROBATION OFFICER FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO EXTEND TO HER BEST 
WISHES ON HER WELL-DESERVED RECENT RETIREMENT.

Whereas, Andrea Massie 
Vaughn's journey of twenty-six years with the U.S. Probation Office in the 
District of South Carolina is a testament to dedication, perseverance, and an 
unwavering commitment to excellence. On December 31, 2025, she retired from a 
respected career in criminal justice that began on December 4, 1999, when she 
first took up her duties with the U.S. Probation Office; and

Whereas, in preparation 
for her career, this Columbia native graduated from the University of South 
Carolina with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice (1994), followed by a 
master's degree from Xavier University in the same subject (1998); and

Whereas, over the 
years, she served her profession as a member of the National Association of 
Blacks in Criminal Justice, South Carolina chapter, for which she is also a 
former chapter president (2010-2011) and a current board member (2005-2025); 
and

Whereas, believing 
strongly in active participation in her community, Andrea Vaughn serves that 
community as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and the South Carolina 
Federation of Women and Youth Clubs. She has been a member of the latter group for 
twenty years and currently bears the title of state first vice president for 
that worthy organization. Further, this woman of faith finds her spiritual home 
at New Ebenezer Baptist Church, where she serves as a deaconess; and

Whereas, Mrs. Vaughn 
finds strength for her labors in the encouragement and support of her family: 
her husband, Tony Vaughn; the couple's children, Antonio, Terrell, and Tony 
Jr.; and the senior Vaughns' two lovely granddaughters, Jasmine and Jade; and

Whereas, on the 
occasion of her retirement, Andrea Vaughn's colleagues gathered to honor her at 
a celebratory event held on December 18, 2025; and

Whereas, Andrea Vaughn 
had no small impact on the quality of service provided by the U.S. Probation 
Office in the District of South Carolina during her twenty-six-year career. It 
is a great pleasure to celebrate her outstanding service and to wish her well 
as she enjoys retirement and the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now, 
therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, honor and congratulate Andrea Massie Vaughn, U.S. probation 
officer for the District of South Carolina, and extend to her best wishes on 
her well-deserved recent retirement.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to Andrea Massie Vaughn.
