House Joint Resolution 95, sponsored by Representative Reedy, honors the memory of Joyce Gregory, a dedicated school bus driver from Stewart County who tragically lost her life while performing her duties on March 3, 2005. On that day, while picking up students for Dover Elementary School and Stewart County High School, Ms. Gregory was fatally shot by a fourteen-year-old with a personal vendetta against her. Fortunately, none of the twenty-four students on the bus were harmed. The resolution reflects on her bravery and commitment to the safety and education of the children she served.

The resolution expresses gratitude for Joyce Gregory's ultimate sacrifice and recognizes her as a role model and positive influence for students. It emphasizes the importance of remembering her courage in the face of danger and the impact she had on the lives of the children she transported. The House of Representatives and the Senate of the State of Tennessee collectively pay tribute to her service and legacy through this resolution.
