Phyllis Bennett moved here in the late 1980's and has contributed more to her adopted home that most citizens who have lived here all their lives.  She has made major contributions to the Terrell County Public Library through her volunteer work and as a member of the Friends Group.  For Phyllis this was not work, but a labor of love.  She came to Dawson from Florida and made major impacts on the lives of Terrell County Citizens as well as Southwest Georgia.  Some of Phyllis' contributions to her adopted home:
  • Indexed the Dawson News  up to 1938
  • Member of the Historic Preservation Society
  • Instrumental in helping to plan more than one "Annual Tour of Homes"
  • Served as President of the Terrell County Friends of the Library
  • American Cancer Society
  • American Red Cross
  • City of Dawson Poll Manager

This is just a few of the many wonderful things Phyllis did to aid her adopted home.

In March 2002, Phyllis moved back to Florida to be near her family and I must say that Florida's gain is definitely Georgia's lost.     Phyllis, enjoy Florida and come back to  visit Dawson often!
