|---|
| 26 | 26 | | county's historic courthouse, and she assisted employees of the |
|---|
| 27 | 27 | | Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter, educating them on county |
|---|
| 28 | 28 | | business and organizing their office; when she was not serving |
|---|
| 29 | 29 | | others, she enjoyed making scrapbooks, going on cruises, and |
|---|
| 30 | 30 | | spending time in the company of her beloved family; and |
