2011 Woman of the Year

 Marjorie Mayfield  "2011 Woman of the Year"

Decatur County Commissioners, Administration, and Departments feel bragging rights are due us today for the honor bestowed on our own Human Resources Director, Marjorie Mayfield!  Last night the Pilot Club named Mrs. Mayfield “2011 Woman of the Year” and presented her with a plaque and trophy which lists the names of women who have been given this honor since 1961.

 

Being involved in community service is part of who Marjorie is.  She represents the County professionally by working to bring opportunities that will help residents find and keep employment.  She participates with groups that help businesses address employment needs.  Whether it’s United Way, Rotary Club, Chamber of Commerce, the Little Theatre or her church, she gives 100% until completion of any project she takes on.  Having instilled stewardship toward community service in her family, you will often find them working side-by-side with her.

 

One thing that makes us so unique is that many Decatur County residents believe they have a role to play in making our community better. People like Marjorie who put the overall good of others ahead of their own concerns are an encouragement to others.  Congratulations and thank you, Marjorie, for your service beyond the call of duty!
