Memorials, Recognition - Marjie Mahar -

HJR 251 is a ceremonial resolution recognizing Marjorie Ann Bowser "Marjie" Mahar for her community service and family military legacy. It does not create new laws or affect any individuals' rights; it is purely a symbolic honor. The resolution highlights Mrs. Mahar's background as a nurse, her service with the Daughters of the American Revolution, her family's military history (including her brother who died as a POW in Korea), and her efforts to honor veterans. It was passed by both legislative chambers and signed by the Governor as a formal tribute.
