A Georgia House resolution honors the life of Brenda Sue Pike Oglesby, a longtime family nurse practitioner with the state Department of Public Health who died in 2025, and offers condolences to her family.

### Plain-language summary

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a formal tribute to Brenda Sue Pike Oglesby, who passed away on July 31, 2025 at age 73. It recounts her 46-year career as a family nurse practitioner with the State of Georgia Department of Public Health, her continued part-time work with county health departments after retirement, her lifelong membership at Cedar Valley Baptist Church where she taught Sunday school, and her family, including her husband, two daughters, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
The resolution does not change any Georgia law. It simply states that the House joins in honoring her memory and expresses sincere regret at her passing, and it directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to her family.

- Expresses the House's sincere regret at her passing.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare and distribute a copy of the resolution to her family.

### Who it affects

This resolution directly names Brenda Sue Pike Oglesby's family, including her husband Terry, daughters Jennifer and Meredith, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, as well as her church community at Cedar Valley Baptist Church. It has no broader legal effect on other Georgians.

### Why it matters

The resolution carries no legal or financial consequence and changes nothing about Georgia law. Its significance is symbolic and personal, providing formal public recognition from the state legislature to the family and community of a woman who spent decades in public health service.

### Key provisions

- The resolution's whereas clauses describe her 46-year career as a family nurse practitioner with the Georgia Department of Public Health and her continued part-time county work after retirement.
- The first resolving clause has the House join in honoring her memory and expressing regret at her passing.
