Shivers of 21 Richland County on January 10, 2011, at the venerable age of 22 nearly eightythree; and 23 24 Whereas, born on March 1, 1928, Mrs. Shivers was the beloved 25 wife of the late Clark Shivers for more than fifty years; and 26 27 Whereas, she graduated from Columbia Beauty School in 1963 28 and was a licensed beautician for nearly half a century, as well as a 29 caterer; and 30 31 Whereas, believing in caring involvement in her community, she 32 was active with the Capital View Homeowners Association, 33 Eastern Star, Richland County Sheriff’s Department, Lower 34 Richland Ruritan Club, and Red Hat Society; and 35 36 Whereas, a woman of faith, Mary Shivers was a charter member of 37 Temple Baptist Church, where she was leader of the Temple Rays, 38 Bereavement Committee, and Helping Hands Ministries. One of 39 the greatest joys and fulfillments of her life was involvement in the 40 ministry of Camp Longridge to students, and she used the proceeds 41 from her catering to send underprivileged youth to summer camp 42 there; and

[3764] 3 1 2 Whereas, concern for those less fortunate led her to raise money or 3 gather food for their benefit. She also visited and fed neighborhood 4 shutins; and 5 6 Whereas, Mary Shivers was recognized by her church, her 7 community, both the South Carolina House of Representatives and 8 Senate, and Governor Jim Hodges, who in May 2000 awarded her 9 the Order of the Silver Crescent. The Richland County Council 10 also honored her with a resolution in April 2002; and 11 12 Whereas, an iconic figure in many lives, including that of former 13 South Carolina Representative and present House Reading Clerk 14 James “Bubba” Cromer, to whom she was a longtime friend and 15 second mother, Mrs. Shivers will be remembered with much 16 affection and greatly missed in the community she served and 17 loved for so long; and 18 19 Whereas, it is fitting and proper that appropriate markers or signs 20 be erected along Universal Drive in Richland County as a lasting 21 memorial to her rich legacy. Now, therefore, 22 23 Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate 24 concurring: 25 26 That the members of the General Assembly, request that the 27 Department of Transportation erect appropriate markers or signs at 28 the intersection of Universal Drive and Sumter Highway and at the 29 intersection of Universal Drive and Burdell Drive, both in 30 Richland County, that contain the words “In Memory of Mary L. 31 Shivers”. 32 33 Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to 34 the Department of Transportation. 35 XX 36
