(Photos contributed.) About 50 people came to the Bleckley County Courthouse Tuesday morning for a ceremony recognizing Carolyn Kitchens. Kitchens was recognized for her many years of volunteer work for the county as well as having a long career at Robins Air Force base where she worked on C-130 aircraft. Some of the ways Kitchens has helped the community included giving people rides to doctor’s appointments, sitting with people at funeral homes who had no one to family to take then, and staying with people while a family member went to the doctor. First Baptist Church Pastor Keith Rustin said Kitchens had “a servant’s heart.”
