During the holidays many families pay tribute to their friends and loved ones, living and deceased, by making a donation in their name to the American Cancer Society to further cancer research and patient services. It’s called “Love Lights a Tree”.
In reality, it’s a tribute board located on the south grounds of the courthouse where names of honorees are displayed throughout the Christmas and New Year holiday season.
The DeKalb County Unit of the American Cancer Society seeks your support. Donations may be made now and the persons you honor or remember do not necessarily have to have suffered from cancer.
The names are in “honor of” and in “memory of” for a donation of five-dollars per name. Forms may be obtained at the local banks. For more information, contact Iva Dell Randolph at 615- 597-5296, Melanie Judkins at 615-464-7664, Renea Cantrell at 615-684-2688, or Gail Taylor 615-597-5936.
The names of 2021 Honorees are as follows:
Chase Adams, Billy F. Adcock, Loretta Adcock, Judith Allen, Kim Ammorse, Lisa Anderson, Tracie Webb Baker, Gentry Barnes, Era Mai Billings, Dorothy Bratcher, Harold Bratcher, Sarah Ellen Colwell, Linda Colvert, Jean Cook, Judy Cook, Andrew Jackson Dakus, Billy Ray Dixon, Sr., Earl D.
