_______ A concurrent RESOLUTION To request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Jeffords Street in the City of Florence in Florence County from its intersection with East Palmetto Street to its intersection with East Pine Street the "Honorable Pat Gibson-Hye Moore memorial Street" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.

Whereas, Pat Gibson-Hye Moore's life was defined by an unwavering commitment to serving others and her beloved City of Florence, South Carolina.

and   Whereas, throughout her extensive career in public service, Pat consistently put the well-being of her neighbors at the forefront.

and   Whereas, Pat's work in addressing homelessness became one of the hallmarks of her career.

and   Whereas, beyond her advocacy for the homeless, Pat recognized that the strength of a community is built on opportunities for recreation and engagement for all ages.

and   Whereas, her most widely celebrated accomplishment was founding the South Carolina Pecan Festival in 2003.

and   Whereas, a prominent local pastor described her as "a walking sermon," countless residents of Florence stated that if it were not for Pat's help, they would not be alive or have accomplished their dreams.

and   Whereas, Pat Gibson-Hye Moore's legacy remains woven into the fabric of Florence, a legacy defined by transformative service, community revitalization, and an enduring belief that every citizen deserves dignity, opportunity, and hope.

and   Whereas, it would be fitting and proper to forever recognize the legacy of this daughter of the Palmetto State by having a street named in her honor.

Now, therefore,   Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

  That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation name the portion of Jeffords Street in the City of Florence in Florence County from its intersection with East Palmetto Street to its intersection with East Pine Street the "Honorable Pat Gibson-Hye Moore Street" and erect appropriate markers or signs containing these words.

  Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
