The resolution honors Carrie Clara Huffman, a beloved resident of Fairhope, Alabama, as she celebrates her 100th birthday on April 4, 2025. Born on the same date in 1925 in Cattaraugus County, New York, Ms. Huffman's life has been characterized by resilience and devotion. After facing early adversity, including being placed in foster care, she demonstrated remarkable familial commitment by leaving school to care for her terminally ill mother. At 16, she married Clair Sherman Huffman, with whom she raised eight children while also managing a dairy farm and working for 32 years as a skilled machinist.

Now residing in Fairhope, Ms. Huffman is celebrated not only for her longevity but for the meaningful life she has led, filled with love for her family, which includes over 100 descendants across six generations. The resolution expresses the Alabama House of Representatives' admiration for her life and legacy, extending warm congratulations on this significant milestone. A copy of the resolution will be provided to Ms. Huffman and her family as a token of esteem from the Alabama Legislature.
