The resolution celebrates Elizabeth "Betty" Kaufman Thines on the occasion of her 107th birthday and acknowledges her significant contributions to the State of Arkansas. Born on March 4, 1918, in St. Vincent, Arkansas, she played a vital role in managing Kaufman Farms alongside her siblings and was recognized as a champion in the Plant to Prosper Competition in 1939. Her public service includes serving as Deputy County Clerk in Conway County and working as a stenographer and secretary for the Arkansas House of Representatives during the 1950s. Despite living in Vermont at the time, she returned to Arkansas to serve her home state, and her legacy is honored with photographs displayed in the State Capitol.
The resolution expresses the House of Representatives' desire to formally recognize and honor Thines for her dedication and service. It concludes with a commitment to provide her with a copy of the resolution upon its adoption, ensuring that her contributions to the state are celebrated on this milestone birthday.
