A house RESOLUTION

TO CONGRATULATE MILDRED EARLINE ROBERTS OF TRAVELERS 
REST ON THE OCCASION OF HER 100TH BIRTHDAY AND TO WISH HER A JOYOUS BIRTHDAY 
CELEBRATION AND MUCH HAPPINESS IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

Whereas, on March 25, 2025, 
Mildred Earline Roberts of Travelers Rest will awaken to the celebration of a 
milestone event: her 100th birthday; and

Whereas, born in 
Travelers Rest on March 25, 1925, in the first quarter of the twentieth 
century, Earline 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. 
Among the interesting events she has witnessed, the growing-up years of 
Representative Mike Burns, who lived just a few doors down the street from her, 
bring a twinkle to her eye when she remembers them; and

Whereas, in the 
fullness of time, the young Earline met Charles Malcomb Roberts, the love of 
her life, and the two were wed on April 17, 1942. God blessed their union with 
four delightful children, Joyce, Lenny, Sue, and Bonnie Kay, and Earline and 
Charles enjoyed a marriage of seventy-two years before Charles's passing; and

Whereas, the talented 
Earline, an expert seamstress, made all of her children's clothes. In fact, she 
still owns the Singer treadle sewing machine she used to make them; and

Whereas, in their spare 
time, both Earline and Charles, being avid golfers, enjoyed getting outdoors on 
the greens and "hitting 'em long and straight." In addition, the two relished 
traveling every September to Daytona Beach Shores, where they spent the entire 
month. They also took much pleasure in their two visits to Hawaii; and

Whereas, Earline 
Roberts, as a woman of faith, finds her spiritual home at Enoree Baptist 
Church, where she serves the Lord as the church's eldest member; and

Whereas, to honor her 
at this very special time in her life, family, friends, and fellow members of 
her congregation will join with Earline to celebrate her centennial birthday on 
Sunday, March 23, 2025, at Enoree Baptist Church; 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 
Mildred Earline Roberts of Travelers Rest 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 Mildred Earline Roberts.
