The resolution highlights her legacy of service, friendship, and joy, as well as her contributions to the South Carolina Senate and her work in the legal and healthcare fields.
Mary Elizabeth Mullikin was recognized for her dedication to her community, her accomplishments in various fields, and her passion for helping others, particularly victims of domestic abuse. The resolution emphasizes the importance of the annual softball game as a celebration of bipartisan fellowship and the family spirit of the General Assembly, values that Mullikin embodied during her time at the State House. The resolution concludes with a request for a copy to be presented to BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina and to Mullikin's family.
