Five Jackson County Women Honored

These area ladies remind us that we can make a difference in our communities.  Story by Cassandra Colson Jackson County Chronicle.

Five Jackson County women were honored last week as the newest recipients of the county’s Women in History awards.

Local residents Joan Brown, Carolyne Hensel, Lila Lynne, Leota Simonson and Dorothy Will received the awards at a ceremony held March 20.

The program began after a former president of the local AARP brought information on National Women in History month to a meeting of Seniors and Lawmen Together, and the groups began co-sponsoring the program. Recipients must be over 60 years old, county residents and show leadership within their communities and county.
