29	29	by adversity, resilience, and grace, as she was placed into
30	30	foster care at the age of five; she was lovingly cared for
31	31	by her foster parents, William and Lucy Marsh, and remained
32	32	close throughout her youth to her beloved sister, Alberta;
33	33	and
34	34	WHEREAS, Ms. Huffman left formal schooling in the
35	35	eighth grade in order to care for her terminally ill mother,

37	37	deep familial devotion that she is known to embody by all
38	38	who know her; and
39	39	WHEREAS, in July 1941, at the age of 16, she would

78	78	machinist at Tonnard Manufacturing in Corry, Pennsylvania,
79	79	doing work that required not only physical endurance but
80	80	steady determination and skill as well; and
81	81	WHEREAS, she moved to Fairhope in 1998, which she
82	82	says she is thankful for because it is the greatest
83	83	community she has had the pleasure to live in; she continues
84	84	to live with joy tending to her garden, feeding the birds
85	85	she loves, reading voraciously, and sharing stories and love
86	86	with all who have the pleasure to know her, including her
87	87	more than 100 grandchildren and descendants that stretch
88	88	across six generations and counting; and
89	89	WHEREAS, Ms. Huffman's life is a shining example of
90	90	what it means to live not just a long life, but a meaningful
91	91	one as she is dearly loved by her family, admired by her
92	92	community, and is here now rightly celebrated by the State
93	93	of Alabama on her centennial birthday; now therefore,
94	94	BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
