Commissioner Gail B. Hambrick, District 2, was recently invited to the 107th birthday of Clayton County resident, Mrs. Maggie Brown Kidd.  Mrs. Kidd was born in Stephens, Georgia, on December 7, 1904.  Believed to be the county’s oldest living resident, Mrs. Kidd resides in Riverdale, GA with her daughter and son-in-law in.

"It is an amazing honor for me to serve as Mrs. Maggie Brown Kidd's County Commissioner.  The Board of Commissioners value their senior residents and the vital role that they play in both enriching our communities and our lives”, stated Hambrick. “Our seniors serve as an important reminder of our history and as an empowering link to our future.  In as much as it is a blessing for Mrs. Kidd to celebrate her 107th birthday among family and friends, it is even a greater blessing for us, the residents of Clayton County, to have this beautiful jewel in our county."
