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.

The resolution highlights Ms. Huffman's contributions to her family and community, noting her move to Fairhope in 1998, where she has continued to thrive, tending to her garden and sharing her love with over 100 descendants across six generations. The Alabama House of Representatives expresses its admiration for her extraordinary life, recognizing her not only for her longevity but for the meaningful impact she has had on those around her. The resolution concludes with a commitment to provide a copy of this recognition to Ms. Huffman and her family as a token of esteem and celebration from the Alabama Legislature.
