In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Julia Lee Jackson Dobbs, who was born June 20, 1926, on the occasion of her 100th birthday. The resolution recounts her life, including her lifelong membership in local churches, her decades of work in public schools and Parent Teacher Associations, her 50 years running a restaurant and catering business, and her family. The House formally commends her for her service to family and community, congratulates her on turning 100, and wishes her continued health and happiness. It also directs the Clerk of the House to prepare a copy of the resolution for her.
