A
RESOLUTION
Honoring
and remembering the life of Eve Marie Standard, assistant director of the Newton
County Board of Elections; and for other purposes.
WHEREAS,
Eve Standard was born on St. Patrick's Day, 1951, to Charles and Lois Morris;
and
WHEREAS,
she graduated from Newton County High School in 1969 before starting a career in
the insurance industry, as she gained employment at such prestigious companies
as Prudential and Manhattan Life in New York City and American Southern in
Atlanta; and
WHEREAS,
Eve resolved to become a full time homemaker in 1976 when she and her husband,
Danny H. Standard, were blessed with their first child, Isaac, who was followed
by his sister, Sarah, in 1985; and
WHEREAS,
in 1990, she put her industriousness into the service of Newton County, working
part-time positions at the courthouse and then a full-time position at the
Newton County Voter Registration Office, where she became assistant director and
was noted for her highly efficient teamwork with Director Kathryn G. Allen;
and
WHEREAS,
she was admired for her unusual tenacity and her sensitivity to the details of
ballot procedure despite the elevated tension that is typical to election
season, and she was highly instrumental in the implementation of automated
voting in Newton County and in developing a training manual for the filing of
election materials that was recognized and adopted by the Secretary of State's
office for use in all Georgia counties; and
WHEREAS,
while in life she commanded the esteem of her fellow Georgians, in her death we
mingle our sympathies with the grief of her family, colleagues, and
friends.
NOW,
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of
this body join together to express the deepest regret at the passing of Eve
Marie Standard, recognize her invaluable service to the State of Georgia, and
extend their most sincere condolences to her family.
BE
IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Clerk of the House of Representatives is authorized
and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to the family of
Eve Marie Standard.
