Bill > HR860

This resolution honors the life and memory of Marie Lewis Garrett, a distinguished public servant who passed away on August 10, 2024. Born in 1953 on Governors Island, New York, Garrett was a dedicated professional who served in multiple leadership roles in municipal government, including as the first City Manager of Brookhaven, Georgia, and holding positions in cities like Alpharetta, Canton, and Johns Creek. She had a strong educational background, earning an undergraduate degree from the University of Georgia and a Master of Science from Georgia State University's College of Public and Urban Affairs. Garrett was deeply proud of her father's military service and her mother's Austrian heritage, and she maintained close family ties, being married to her husband Steve for 46 years and mother to three sons and grandmother to three grandchildren. The resolution, passed by the House of Representatives, not only commemorates her professional achievements and community contributions but also directs the House Clerk to provide a copy of the resolution to her family as a gesture of respect and remembrance.
