A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE PASSING OF LEXIE TURNER “LUCY” RODGERS OF GREENWOOD 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 Ninety Six resident Lexie Turner “Lucy” Rodgers at the age of sixty six on Sunday, April 30, 2017; and

Whereas, born in Greenwood County, she was a daughter of the late Rufus Julease and Gertrude Thomas Turner; and

Whereas, a registered nurse, Mrs. Rodgers worked at the Saluda Nursing and Rehab Center for years before a stroke forced her to retire when she was in her fifties; and

Whereas, after retiring, she continued volunteering at the nursing center and one year was named Volunteer of the Year; and

Whereas, for more than twenty years, Mrs. Rodgers made frequent mission trips to impoverished areas in North Carolina and West Virginia, and year round she took joy in knitting clothing for the homeless, helping victims of domestic violence and their children at safe houses, and serving food to people in need; and

Whereas, a devoted and loving member of St. Paul United Methodist Church in Ninety Six, she was married to her beloved husband, the late B. L. Rodgers, until his death; and

Whereas, she leaves to cherish her memory and example her best friend and loving sister, Mamie Jones of Saluda, and two devoted brothers, C. Edward Turner and Mike Ernest Turner both of Greenwood, along with fifteen nieces and twelve nephews, the apples of her eye; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives are grateful for the life and legacy of Lucy Rodgers and for the example of sacrifice and service 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 Lexie Turner “Lucy” Rodgers of Greenwood 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 Lexie Turner “Lucy” Rodgers.
