Commissioners honor Doris Pendleton

At their Dec. 4 meeting, county commissioners honored Doris Pendleton with a plaque commemorating her 36 years of service with the property appraiser’s office, and a proclamation citing her invaluable service on behalf of the citizens of Franklin County. Pendleton, shown above accepting the plaque from County Planner Alan Pierce, thanked the board for inviting her to the meeting. She thanked God for allowing her to fulfill her duties and her family, staff and the whole county for supporting her. “The first 24 years working under somebody else wasn’t so hard, but the last 12 were tough,” she said. “You don’t know who your real boss is until you sit in that office, on election night, with those votes coming in. Then you know who your real bosses are.” Rhonda Skipper, the deputy property appraised who was elected this year to take the in the appraiser’s office said it has been “an honor and a privilege working for Doris and training with her.”
