Smiths Station City Council presents proclamation and plaque in honor of Shirley Bolt
Mayor Bubba Copeland and members of the Smiths Station City Council presented a proclamation 
and plaque in honor of Shirley Bolt during tonight’s city council meeting. Bolt was a longtime member of the City of Smiths Station’s Zoning Board of Adjustment.
“Please know that her passing will leave a hole in what we represent,” Copeland said to Bolt’s daughter Marie Griffin. “She was a firecracker. I know that you guys will carry on her legacy.”
“She was always an inspiration to me, she always said what was on her mind and was very respectful in the process. We appreciate her service to the city,” said Place 2 Councilman Morris Jackson.
Following is the City of Smiths Station’s proclamation to the Bolt family:
“Whereas, on behalf of the City of Smiths Station, we wish to extend our sincere condolences over the passing of Shirley Bolt; and
Whereas Shirley’s death leaves our community with a deep feeling of sorrow for the loss of such an honored and respected citizen; and
