A HOUSE RESOLUTION

TO EXPRESS THE PROFOUND SORROW OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES UPON THE DEATH OF JANIS CLAIRE COTTEN OF ARIZONA AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HER FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives were deeply saddened to learn of the death of Janis Claire Cotten of Arizona on November 26, 2013, at the venerable age of eighty-three; and

Whereas, born into a pioneering family that came to Arizona in the 1870s, she was the daughter of Lamar Cotten and Mary Childs Cotten of Tucson. Janis graduated from Tucson High School and attended the University of Arizona for an associate’s degree; and

Whereas, in 1953, she married her college sweetheart, Roland G. Kuhel, and had four daughters. As a young mother, Janis started a business selling homemade bread while studying nutrition and using freshly milled flour; and

Whereas, her love of adventure led her to work for the FBI and Hughes Aircraft, and she enjoyed singing country ballads with friends. Janis was a rodeo barrel racer and rodeo princess, as well as an avid skier and extraordinary tennis player; and

Whereas, a member of the Junior League of Tucson, she continued her service as a sustainer until the age of eighty. In addition, Janis was a member of the Tucson Rotary Club; and

Whereas, Janis sold real estate with Shadron Realty and Tucson Realty. Later, nutrition was a natural beginning to her career as a coordinator with Shaklee; and

Whereas, Mount Lemmon played a big role in Janis’ life. She hosted Fourth of July parties at her cabin, with guitars and singing around the campfire. Janis founded and ran the Mount Lemmon Junior Forest Rangers. While active with the Saguaro Ski Club and junior ski racing team, she helped expand the ski area for Al Grossman. Her passion for life and adventure attracted young and old alike; and

Whereas, Janis Cotten leaves to cherish her memory her husband, J. Karl Meyer of Tucson, Arizona; daughters Diana Kuhel Osborne (John) of Arizona, Theresa Kuhel Miller (Harold) of Columbia, Sally Anne Kuhel of California, and Julia Kuhel McKee of Arizona; their children and grandchildren; and a host of other family members and friends. She will be missed. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, express their profound sorrow upon the death of Janis Claire Cotten of Arizona and extend the deepest sympathy to her family and many friends.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be provided to Theresa Kuhel Miller of Columbia for the family.
