of course, don't forget. Yes, please. Yes. Good afternoon. Just wanna uh recognize uh my service authority appointee, uh Miss Joyce Eagles, who many of you know um was a long serving member of the community, long serving member of the Woodbridge district who recently passed away. Um but her contributions to Woodbridge uh and really Princeton County at large um should should definitely go noted. So I'll just read um a little bit and then just want to recognize uh her her family, her husband and her son, and certainly want to give you an opportunity uh to say your few words. One of my distinct pleasures since being elected Woodbridge district supervisor has been getting to know Joyce Eagles. She was such a delightful person with a kind and caring demeanor.
Deshundra Jefferson 32:13
She also had a very sharp mind and a keen intellect. Her willingness to serve her community was evident in all that she did. Joyce Eagles graduated from the University of Massachusetts with a BA in zoology. She worked at the Beltrown State School helping mentally handicapped children for six years before moving on to other pursuits in Iowa as Doug completed his PhD in postdoctoral work. Joyce and Doug Eagles moved to Manassas, Virginia in 1974. Their family moved and ultimately settled in Woodbridge, where they have lived for over forty years. Most of Joyce's work has been as a volunteer, showing her passion for education, nature, history, conservation, and preservation. And I had the privilege to reappoint her to the board of directors of the Prince William Service Authority two years ago.
Deshundra Jefferson 33:03
During her more than thirty years of service on the board, she held the positions of secretary, treasurer, Vice Chair and Chair. She made history by being the first woman appointed to the board and being the longest serving member of the Service Authority Board. The service authority is but one of many organizations where she made her mark in Prince William County. Her involvement with the American Asociation of University Women. The P W C Library Foundation, the PWC Library Board, and the Virginia Cooperative Extension are but a few of the many ways she she contributed to the well being of our community. Joyce's legacy of service will forever in Prince William County will be forever in Prince William County through every person she has met and the important progress she has made for this county.
Deshundra Jefferson 33:45
Joyce Eagles leaves a legacy that will inspire others, and for that we will always be grateful. And now I like to recognize Mr.
