In plain language
This resolution is a ceremonial measure passed by the Georgia House of Representatives. It does not change any law. Instead, it recounts the life of Mrs. Eloise Branton, who was born in 1930, raised in the Leon County School System, married to the late Samuel Branton, and worked in farm labor, private housekeeping, and a family funeral service business. It also describes her decades of church service at St. Peter Church before her death in 2004. The resolution formally states that the House of Representatives honors her life and legacy and recognizes her contributions to her family, church, and community. It directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to her family, which is the resolution's only concrete action.
