A RESOLUTION

Honoring the life of Ms. Abigail Savoie and dedicating a roundabout in her memory; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Ms. Abigail Savoie grew up in Fayette County, Georgia, playing soccer, cheerleading, swimming, and running; and

WHEREAS, she attended Georgia College & State University in Milledgeville, which she affectionately referred to as "Milli," and was an active member of Alpha Gamma Delta Sorority; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Savoie studied public health and had hopes of joining the Center for Disease Control upon graduation, where she could put her compassion and heart into helping others; and

WHEREAS, she was a people person who cared for the well-being of other people, always the first to help out another in need; and

WHEREAS, Ms. Savoie's life was tragically cut short on October 21, 2022, when returning to school, her vehicle was struck at the intersection of GA 16 and High Falls Road and England Chapel Road near Jackson, Georgia, by a driver who ran a stop sign; and

WHEREAS, although the loss of this smart, energetic, and beautiful soul can never be filled, her death called attention to the other numerous accidents at the intersection where her vehicle was struck, and resulted in plans to convert the intersection into a safer roundabout, likely saving the lives of other motorists; and

WHEREAS, it is abundantly fitting and proper that this remarkable and distinguished Georgian be recognized appropriately by dedicating a roundabout in her memory.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND ENACTED BY THE GENERAL

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Department of Transportation is authorized and directed to erect and maintain appropriate signs dedicating the Abby Savoie Circle of Hope. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to make appropriate copies of this resolution available for distribution to the family of Ms. Abigail Savoie and to the Department of Transportation.
