In the spring of 2012, Enich and James, along with founding members, Stephanie Jones, Molly Jackson, Bridget Barker, and Michele Grainger, hosted their first annual Thankful Hearts charity event; their goal was to raise enough money to feed at least 10 Lumpkin County families, but they surpassed that goal, and they were able to feed 29 families. Each year since, they have exceeded their goal, and 2018 was their highest year so far, providing groceries to 78 local families.
Throughout the past six years, Thankful Hearts has earned support from local businesses such as, Walmart, Dahlonega Funeral Home, and Refrigiwear, through monetary donations, food donations, and even food storage.
Take & Bake is the event held each year, in which the receiving families are able to pick up their groceries from Thankful Hearts. Enich expressed her gratitude for the people and businesses who help feed locals each Thanksgiving, “This was just an idea that started, and I truly never imagined that it would turn into this. We’ve never had to beg for money or be stressed over nominations. There’s a true need in LC & we’re just so thankful that we are able to help fill that need”
Thankful Hearts is a division of Lumpkin County Family Connections, and everyone is welcome to volunteer or donate.

Barbara W. Cox: Obituary
Obituaries October 5, 2018
Barbara W. Cox, age 86, of Cumming, GA, ran into the arms of Jesus and her beloved husband and precious grandson on September 30, 2018, at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, GA. She was born July 4, 1932, the daughter of James Henderson Walker and Eudera Barton Walker. She was a resident of Cumming, GA in the Hamptons and a member of First Redeemer Church. Her two children survive Barbara, Debra Cox Malone (William) of Charleston, SC and Ronald James Cox of Dawsonville, GA. She is also survived by her sister, Virginia “Dee” Hedges (Dayton), sister-in-law, Betty Walker, and her grandchildren, Bradley Malone (Julia), Ryan Malone (Jennifer), and Cody Walker Cox. Grandson, Mason James Cox preceded her in death in 2014. She was a great-grandmother to five great-grands, Caroline, Sarah, Kellen, Kayleigh and Maddux as well as an aunt to nieces and nephews, James Hedges (Allison), John Hedges (Lisa), Sandi Walker Scoggins (Michael), and William Walker.
Barbara and her husband, Air Force Captain William Henry “Wild Bill” Cox, were married on June 1, 1955 in San Angelo, TX, on the day Bill received his pilot wings. Their daughter, Debra, came along the next year. Soon they were off to California, where son, Ron, arrived. They were then stationed in Godmanchester, England. No one could have foreseen the tragedy to come – Bill was killed in a plane crash on a cross-country flight in February 1963. Barbara came back to Mississippi to start a life as a widowed, single mom with her two young children and to be near friends and family. She became an accomplished horsewoman who had an array of horses that brought her so much joy over the years in and around Columbus, MS. Art was also her passion and she was a gifted oil painting artist as well as learning the art of creating Faberge eggs. Barbara would later move to Atlanta to be closer to her sister and brother (Theron Wesley Walker, who preceded her in death) and begin a career at Rich’s Department Store, where she would retire after a full tenure in the China and Silver Departments.
She enjoyed homes around the Atlanta area in Dunwoody, Roswell and on Lake Lanier before settling in Cumming, GA. Barbara never remarried. And on the day she drew her last breath on this earth side of heaven, Bill’s picture remained close, on her nightstand, as it had since the day they were married. Theirs is a true love story that stood the test of time. And now, she is reunited with her first love.
A woman of determination and independence, Barbara chose to live alone with her fur babies, Cujo, her Yorkie and Shadow, her rescued tabby. Since January of this year, she endured several illnesses and many months and days in the hospital and Chestnut Ridge Rehabilitation Center to recover. She enjoyed being back “home” in her son’s home for a short time before becoming the new social butterfly at Sandy Springs Place.
Her children, along with family and close friends, will pilgrimage to Barbara’s childhood homestead in Columbus, MS this week and honor her wishes, plant a tree and share the vast memories of this beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, cousin and faithful friend.
The family would like to extend its gratitude to the entire staff of Sandy Springs Place Memory Care Center for the loving care they provided for Barbara since her move there last month. Also, our deepest gratitude goes to the 1st floor doctors, nurses and staff of Northside Hospital/Atlanta Women’s Center for helping so compassionately in our last hours together and for the gracious gift of time in the aftermath.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Cathedral Bread Basket, 3790 Ashley Phosphate Road, Charleston, SC, 29420.

New JROTC and Science facility coming to Lumpkin County High School
Community, News August 17, 2018
DAHLONEGA, GA
The Lumpkin County Board of Education reviewed preliminary blueprints of the new JROTC and Science facility during the monthly Work Session on Monday, August 13.
Representatives from RLR Architects and Carroll Daniel Construction presented drawings for the proposed facility, which will replace the temporary trailers currently used for JROTC purposes. Dewayne Roof, with RLR Architects, explained that the ROTC building will be two-stories tall, equipped with elevator and staircase access. Entry to the building will be located near the high school, and a weather canopy will cover the walkway between the two entrances.
The first level will contain two ROTC classrooms with a shared office, observation windows and a restroom. It will also have a centralized walk-through uniform storage area and laundry area. Lumpkin County High School Logistics Specialist, Steve Hawk, said the central location and design of the uniform storage will provide easy access to uniforms, as well as simplifying the overall process. There will also be separate male/female dressing rooms, complete with restrooms, and a supply storage room with roll up doors large enough for vehicle unloading.
After seeing the ground-floor layout, Hawk expressed his gratitude to the board and the design team, “I’m really impressed with the drawings. Anything we’ve suggested, they’ve put in there…after 15 years of working out of trailers, it’s a great idea.”
The second level will contain the armory storage area, will also feature what JROTC Senior Army Instructor, Jeff Moran, described as “a fifteen fifteen lane, state of the art, electronic rifle range” that will be something that they can, “add and develop not just excellent, but championship shooters.” An electronic equipment storage room and multipurpose room will also be located on the second floor. The roof will provide access to a two-story rappelling wall, complete with a cushioned landing located area at its base. Access to the rappelling wall will be secured from non ROTC students. The science building will a single-story building containing science classrooms and storage.
Lumpkin County JROTC Army Instructor, Ron Fugate, stated that he did know know of any other high school in Georgia that was equipped with an electronic rifle range; he also explained that it would be the “latest and greatest” in the marksmanship program; he too, expressed deep gratitude.
Lumpkin County High School Superintendent, Dr. Robert Brown, estimated the cost of the project to be around 3.2 to 3.4 million dollars for the total cost, “we will benefit $600,000 for the actual construction on the facility. The rest will be “local commitment and SPLOST funding,” Brown explained.
The construction on the project is estimated for November 2018.
