The resolution honors Mrs. Mollie MacLeroy Bearden for her exceptional service to the Talladega community and the State of Alabama, recognizing her recent accolade from the Willie and Betty Farrior Family Foundation. This nonprofit organization, established in 2017 in memory of Colonel Cedrick A. Farrior's grandparents, aims to support individuals with disabilities, reflecting the legacy of its founders who faced their own challenges with vision loss.

Mrs. Bearden, who has been instrumental in community support since founding the Cheaha Family Support Council in 1994, has dedicated her efforts to assisting families with developmental disabilities across several counties. In addition to her leadership role in Cheaha and Region V, she actively volunteers with United Way, Build a Bridge Food Pantry, and the Alabama Deaf Blind Multiple Association. The resolution expresses deep appreciation for her contributions and extends best wishes for her future endeavors.
