HR910: HR910 Hanberry, Mrs. Lee Ellen; 90th birthday; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It celebrates Mrs. Lee Ellen Hanberry, born March 30, 1935, on the occasion of her 90th birthday. The resolution recounts her life story: her marriage of 61 years to Henry William Hanberry, her three daughters, seven grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren, her long teaching career at Clyo Elementary School and Effingham County Middle School (where she taught current Speaker of the House Jon Burns), and her continued community involvement through her church and the Clyo Homemakers Club. The House formally honors her for her service and extends best wishes for her continued health, and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her with a copy of the resolution.

• Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to Mrs. Hanberry.
