Haynes, Norma; condolences

This resolution honors Norma Haynes, a Coweta County resident known as the "Mother of Public Safety," for her decades of service including founding the Newnan Coweta Public Safety Foundation and establishing an annual appreciation event for first responders. It commemorates her legacy as Coweta County's first female bailiff (1980), her role in community initiatives like the 1996 Olympic Torch Relay coordination, and her receipt of the Georgia Sheriffs' Association Meritorious Award. The resolution expresses the Senate's condolences for her passing and formally recognizes her contributions to public safety and civic life. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or policies.
