A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR MYLINDA NETTLES, FORMER CLERK OF COURT FOR HAMPTON COUNTY, AND TO EXTEND TO HER THE BEST WISHES OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES AS SHE ENTERS A WELL-DESERVED RETIREMENT.

Whereas, commencing in 1985, the State of South Carolina enjoyed the benefit of the dedication, experience, and leadership of Mylinda Nettles, former Hampton County clerk of court, who on January 6, 2025, retired after nearly forty years of outstanding public service; and

Whereas, her career began on April 10, 1985, when Mylinda was first elected clerk of court; and

Whereas, reelected for six additional terms, she became one of the longest-serving clerks of court in the history of Hampton County; and

Whereas, with her dedicated leadership and vision, she oversaw the remodel of the Hampton County Courthouse in 2007; and

Whereas, further, this member of the South Carolina Association of Clerks earned the respect of both her community and her peers throughout her career; and

Whereas, Mylinda has been a committed leader; a kind and gracious co-worker; and a constant encourager who demonstrates great wisdom, humility, and humor. She is known as a woman of integrity by those who have benefited from the high morals and godly principles she strives to follow; and

Whereas, the House of Representatives wishes to express its gratitude for Mylinda Nettles' exemplary service to the people of South Carolina, most particularly those of Hampton County. Now that Mylinda has stepped down from the post she filled so ably for thirty-nine years, the members hope she will find much joy in the increased leisure time she is able to devote to family, friends, and other interests during a well-earned retirement. She will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Mylinda Nettles, former clerk of court for Hampton County, and extend to her the best wishes of the South Carolina House of Representatives as she enters a well-deserved retirement.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Mylinda Nettles.
