This resolution honors Reverend Jeannine R. Smalls, a notable South Carolina religious and community leader who passed away on March 15, 2025, by requesting the South Carolina Department of Transportation (DOT) rename Holly Hall Road in Beaufort County to "Reverend Jeannine R. Smalls Road". The resolution highlights Reverend Smalls' significant contributions, including her work as a pastor at Grace Chapel AME Church, her background as a social worker, and her extensive community service efforts such as organizing prayer vigils against violence, supporting local schools, and contributing to health and wellness programs. The resolution recognizes her academic achievements, including degrees from Hunter College, Fordham University, and Erskine Theological Seminary, as well as her numerous professional roles and awards, including being named Social Worker of the Year in 1992 and receiving the "Women of Distinction" award in 2006. The document not only requests the road renaming but also directs that a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the DOT and presented to Reverend Smalls' family, serving as a formal tribute to her life and legacy of community service.
