RESOLUTION

TO HONOR AND CONGRATULATE ANDREA MASSIE VAUGHN, U.S.
PROBATION OFFICER FOR THE DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA, AND TO EXTEND TO HER BEST
WISHES ON HER WELL-DESERVED RECENT RETIREMENT.

W
hereas, Andrea Massie
Vaughn's journey of twenty-six years with the U.S. Probation Office in the
District of South Carolina is a testament to dedication, perseverance, and an
unwavering commitment to excellence. On December 31, 2025, she retired from a
respected career in criminal justice that began on December 4, 1999, when she
first took up her duties with the U.S. Probation Office; and

W
hereas, in preparation
for her career, this Columbia native graduated from the University of South
Carolina with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice (1994), followed by a
master's degree from Xavier University in the same subject (1998); and

W
hereas, over the
years, she served her profession as a member of the National Association of
Blacks in Criminal Justice, South Carolina chapter, for which she is also a
former chapter president (2010-2011) and a current board member (2005-2025);
and

W
hereas, believing
strongly in active participation in her community, Andrea Vaughn serves that
community as a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. and the South Carolina
Federation of Women and Youth Clubs. She has been a member of the latter group for
twenty years and currently bears the title of state first vice president for
that worthy organization. Further, this woman of faith finds her spiritual home
at New Ebenezer Baptist Church, where she serves as a deaconess; and

W
hereas, Mrs. Vaughn
finds strength for her labors in the encouragement and support of her family:
her husband, Tony Vaughn; the couple's children, Antonio, Terrell, and Tony
Jr.; and the senior Vaughns' two lovely granddaughters, Jasmine and Jade; and

W
hereas, on the
occasion of her retirement, Andrea Vaughn's colleagues gathered to honor her at
a celebratory event held on December 18, 2025; and

W
hereas, Andrea Vaughn
had no small impact on the quality of service provided by the U.S. Probation
Office in the District of South Carolina during her twenty-six-year career. It
is a great pleasure to celebrate her outstanding service and to wish her well
as she enjoys retirement and the more leisurely pace of the days ahead. Now,
therefore,

B
e it resolved by the
House of Representatives
:

T
hat the members of the
South Carolina
House of Representatives
,
by this resolution, honor and congratulate Andrea Massie Vaughn, U.S. probation
