The Alabama House of Representatives expresses deep gratitude and sadness as they honor Julie Fike Saint upon her retirement after nearly 40 years of dedicated service. Julie began her career as a part-time typist in 1985 and quickly rose through the ranks to become the supervisor of the Enrolling and Engrossing Department, a position she has held for over three decades. Throughout her tenure, she has witnessed significant changes in the legislature, including the terms of multiple House Clerks, Speakers, and Governors, and has played a vital role in the legislative process, contributing to the implementation of the first legislative computer system in Alabama.

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Julie is fondly remembered for her nurturing spirit and generosity, often referred to as "Mama JuJu" by her colleagues. She was known for her endless supply of snacks, her involvement in charitable efforts, and her ability to bring joy and laughter to the workplace through creative events. As she embarks on her retirement, spending time with her family and pursuing personal interests, the legislature extends their heartfelt commendation and best wishes for her future endeavors, recognizing her as the "heart" of the House of Representatives.
