Celebrating the life of Cynthia Sue Swann.
House Joint Resolution 246 is a commemorative resolution honoring the life and public service of Cynthia Sue Swann of Bumpass, Virginia. The resolution recounts her career as a nurse, her long service as a charter and life member of the Holly Grove Volunteer Rescue Squad, and her leadership roles in emergency medical training and rescue operations. It also recognizes her involvement in civic and faith-based organizations, including the Louisa County Commission on Aging and Holly Grove Christian Church.
The resolution does not create or amend any laws, regulations, or appropriations. Instead, it expresses the General Assembly’s sorrow at her passing and directs the Clerk of the House of Delegates to prepare a copy for presentation to her family as a formal tribute. Its practical effect is limited to ceremonial recognition and public acknowledgment of her contributions to Louisa County and the Commonwealth.
HJ246 has no substantive impact on Virginia statutes, agency authority, or public programs. It is a nonbinding joint resolution that serves only to memorialize an individual and authorize a presentation copy for the family. The affected parties are primarily Cynthia Sue Swann’s family, the Holly Grove Volunteer Rescue Squad, the Louisa County community, and the broader volunteer rescue and aging-services communities recognized in the resolution.
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is uniformly positive and respectful. The General Assembly agreed to the measure without any recorded opposition, reflecting bipartisan appreciation for Cynthia Sue Swann’s service as a nurse, first responder, volunteer leader, and community member. The tone of the bill is solemn and celebratory, focused on gratitude, remembrance, and public honor.
There is no notable contention in the available record. The resolution is purely commemorative, and there are no committee transcripts, recorded votes, or amendments indicating disagreement. Any discussion would likely have centered on recognizing Swann’s contributions to emergency response, volunteer service, and elder support, but the bill history provided shows no opposition or controversy.
