A house RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE 
PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
UPON THE PASSING OF MARY LUCILLE KENNEDY MCDANIEL OF WINNSBORO, TO CELEBRATE 
HER LIFE, AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of 
the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened by the passing 
of Mary Lucille Kennedy McDaniel of Winnsboro on July 22, 2024, at the 
venerable age of 90; and

Whereas, born on June 2, 
1934, Mary set her family at the center of her world, and she poured her heart 
into nurturing and supporting them. She was the "virtuous woman" of Proverbs 
31, whose strong faith in God guided her every step. She was a pillar of 
strength and a beacon of love and compassion in her community. Her giving heart 
and joyful spirit touched the lives of all who knew her. She found immense joy 
in helping those in need and was always ready with a kind word or a comforting 
gesture; and

Whereas, this beautiful 
Scriptural testimony describes Mary aptly: "I have fought a good fight, I have 
finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a 
crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at 
that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing" 
(II Timothy 4:7-8, KJV); and

Whereas, this beloved 
mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend was preceded in death by 
her husband, Eddie McDaniel; a son, Ronald McDaniel; and a daughter, Eddie Mae 
McDaniel Brown, and siblings, Almenia Kennedy Henderson, Mattie Barr, Leroy 
Kennedy, Frank Kennedy, and Thomas Kennedy. Mary leaves to cherish her memory 
her surviving children, Jessie Kennedy Ashford, Annie E. McDaniel, Sandra 
McDaniel Mingo (Benny), Susan McDaniel Anderson (William), Ebony McDaniel, and 
Taylor Brown; siblings Moses Kennedy, Ernest Kennedy, and Thelma Jackson (Benjamin); 
and a host of loving friends; and

Whereas, Mary Lucille 
Kennedy McDaniel's legacy of love and generosity will continue to inspire all 
who were blessed to know her. She will be greatly missed. 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 Mary Lucille Kennedy McDaniel of 
Winnsboro, celebrate her life, and extend the deepest sympathy to her family 
and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution 
be presented to the family.
