A concurrent RESOLUTION
TO CONGRATULATE GLENN AND ALLIE WILLIAMS OF
GREENWOOD COUNTY ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR FIFTIETH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY AND TO
EXTEND BEST WISHES FOR MUCH CONTINUED HAPPINESS AND FULFILLMENT.
Whereas, the members of
the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to learn that David Glenn
Williams and Alice Adams Williams of Greenwood County will celebrate their
fiftieth wedding anniversary on December 31, 2026; and
Whereas, few successes
in life are greater than a marriage that endures the test of time, for the long-lasting
love and support of a spouse are unmatched in their importance and cannot be
overestimated; and
Whereas, married on
December 31, 1976, at Cokesbury College in Hodges, South Carolina, Glenn and
Allie Williams have demonstrated a fifty-year commitment to one another in the
institution of holy matrimony; and
Whereas, Glenn and
Allie, having been born and raised in Greenwood County and having lived all
their lives there as contributing citizens, have earned the admiration and
appreciation of their community; and
Whereas, blessed with
two children, Fred Williams of Columbia and David Williams of Athens, Georgia,
the senior Williamses also have experienced the deep joy of four loving
grandchildren and two devoted and caring daughters-in-law, all of whom have
enriched their lives; and
Whereas, having managed
his family's logging and forestry business with his father and brother most of
his working life, Glenn has continued to give back to his community following
his retirement. He builds houses and serves in numerous leadership roles,
including as Sunday school teacher, at Main Street United Methodist Church. In
addition to participating in local politics and running marathons, Glenn has received
his second college degree from Lander University and is working on a third. He
is a model of entrepreneurship, hard work, public service, and lifelong
learning; and
Whereas, an ultimate
example of a loving mother, devoted teacher, and selfless human being, Allie
Williams spent decades teaching the two-year-old class at Noah's Ark preschool
while also raising two children. She retired from teaching in Greenwood's
public schools, having run a vacation Bible club with Glenn for over a decade,
and she continues to be one of the most vital and integral members of her
church; and
Whereas, their faith in
Jesus Christ, love for one another, dedication to their family, and service to
their neighbors are an inspiration to all who have had the privilege of knowing
them; and
Whereas, it is with
great pleasure that the members of the South Carolina General Assembly express
their congratulations to these two special South Carolinians on reaching the
milestone of their golden wedding anniversary. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, congratulate Glenn and
Allie Williams of Greenwood County on the occasion of their fiftieth wedding
anniversary and extend best wishes for much continued happiness and
fulfillment.
Be it further resolved that
a copy of this resolution be presented to Glenn and Allie Williams.
