A house RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF Ora Leigh Beaty
Elvis OF Horry 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 Ora Leigh Beaty Elvis of Conway at the age of eighty-eight on Saturday,
March 8, 2025; and
Whereas, born in
Conway, she was a daughter of the late Ernest James and Marguerite Vaught Beaty;
and
Whereas, together with
her beloved husband of sixty-two years, the late Reverend Earl B. Elvis, she
reared four fine children: Kevin E. Elvis of Salem, Kendall D. Elvis, Kimberly
S. Elvis of Conway, and Kayla Elvis Thompson of Little River; and
Whereas, Mrs. Elvis'
children blessed her with the affection of fifteen grandchildren: Trenton
Elvis, Joshua Elvis, Charles Bartley, Brandon Elvis, McCall Schools, Bryson
Elvis, Brooke Cox, Lynsay Chandley, Jennifer Anderson, Chase Thompson, McClure
Thompson, Chelsey Garrett, Ashley Crews, Jarrod Crews, and Myka Lee. She had
the joy of seeing her loving family legacy continue in twenty-four great-grandchildren;
and
Whereas, a devoted wife,
Mrs. Elvis had the honor of serving alongside her husband in his ministry for
over forty-five years. She was a faithful member of the Conway Church of God
and a member of the Young at Heart class; and
Whereas, she was employed
by AVX for over forty years and was a member of Horry Electric Co-op's WIRE
program. After her retirement, she had the pleasure of sharing her love for
baking alongside her son Kendall, who owned the Trestle Bakery at that time.
Her passion to serve others was then carried out every morning serving coffee,
a smile, and a kind word at the LaQuinta Inn in Myrtle Beach. She later brought
joy to the Chick-fil-A of Conway, where she served sweet tea or lemonade to
many in the community; and
Whereas, the members of
the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and
legacy of Ora Leigh Elvis and for the example of faithfulness 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 Ora Leigh Beaty Elvis of Horry 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 Ora Leigh Beaty Elvis.
