Richland County Council on March 18 presented a resolution recognizing Alfreda Walters Tindall for 45 years of service and ratified a separate resolution honoring the life and legacy of singer Angie Stone.
The council read the resolution acknowledging Tindall’s 45 years with county public works beginning on June 16, 1980, and noted milestones in her career including serving as the county’s 9‑1‑1 coordinator and as a breakthrough as the first Black female supervisor in Richland County Public Works. After the resolution was read, Tindall addressed council: "I did not see my 40 years as a job, but as a mission, a missionary doing the work serving our citizens," she said.
Council also ratified a resolution commemorating Angela Laverne Brown (performing name Angie Stone), a Columbia native and recording artist who died in 2025. The text read for the record recounted Stone’s career, education and ties to Columbia and noted her induction into the Women’s Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2024. Both resolutions were approved by the assembled council members during the presentation.
