En lenguaje claro
This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives is a formal tribute to Barbara Anna Barker, who died recently. It recounts her life story: born in 1942, a longtime active member of Hopewell Baptist Church, 22 years working at a Norcross dental office, and 25 years as the first Black female clerk for the City of Norcross. It also notes her marriage to her husband Frank and her two sons and five 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 directs the Clerk of the House to send a copy of the resolution to her family.
