Resident of the Month

Ms. Georgia Sanders was born in the town of Highlands, North Carolina, and lived there most of her life.She was blessed with a beautiful singing voice and has used her talent on many occasions. For instance,she and her friend were invited to sing on national television. In 1970, while working as an assistant town clerk, a handsome young man came into her office, checkingon services for a project. He worked for Verizon and needed help in verifying the locations of some of ourcustomers and I was the lucky person who helped him.

Later that same week he asked me out and the rest ishistory! Their marriage produced two wonderful daughters and 3 amazing grandchildren, whom sheadores. Ms. Georgia was lucky in her career. She was employed as the Assistant Town Clerk and served in thatcapacity for 18 amazing years. When her first daughter was born she took the job as a full-time stay-at-home mom. In 1978 she was appointed Magistrate of North Carolina.

This was the only work she ever had that wasextremely negative. There were times she had to issue search warrants for some of her closest friends, whichwas very difficult. The most rewarding job she had was working as a Church secretary for Father Mike Jones, Priest of theHighlands Episcopal Church. He was by far the best boss anyone could ever have. Georgia retired in 2018, and joined the Legacy Family in 2022.
