CEO Michael Thurmond marked the occasion by proclaiming Lillian Kemp Taylor Day in DeKalb County and Commissioner Larry Johnson read the proclamation.
“God is praiseworthy for many reasons, and Sister Taylor’s 100th birthday is certainly one of them,” Beulah senior pastor Jerry D. Black said in a press release.
