It highlights her dedication to public service, her family life, and her faith, culminating in her being honored as a Living Legend by Commissioner Rodney Ellis in 2021. The Senate resolves to prepare an official copy of the resolution for her family and to adjourn in her memory, celebrating the positive influence she had on those around her.
