Georgia Rep. Sandra Scott (D-Rex) and Henry County Commission Chairwoman Carlotta Harrell will host an event this weekend to honor those who have lost their lives to COVID-19.
The pair, along with the Henry County delegation to the Georgia Legislature, will hold a “white flag” ceremony at 9 a.m. Saturday in the south metro community’s Unity Park, which is at the intersection of Eagles Landing Parkway and Rock Quarry Road.
The event is taking place several weeks after the commission lost one of its own to the disease. District 3 Commissioner Gary Barham died from complications brought on by COVID-19 on March 2.
Barham, who had been on the Henry Commission since 2013, was surrounded by family who had been called to the hospital the morning of his passing, according to a Facebook post from his son, Josh Barham..
