In plain language
This resolution honors Mrs. Mary Kay Tucker, who served 34 years as the Chattooga County clerk, for her leadership and community service. It recites her contributions to local government and her church, the Alpine Community Church, where she taught Sunday school and led youth activities. The resolution's operative effect is to name the portion of State Route 337 between State Route 48 and the Georgia/Alabama line the Mary Kay Tucker Memorial Highway. It directs the Georgia Department of Transportation to erect and maintain signs marking the dedication, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to send copies of the resolution to Mrs. Tucker's family and to the Department of Transportation.
