Commissioners honor Florence Kemp for more than 70 years in local restaurant service
Summary
The commission read a resolution honoring Florence Kemp for 74 years in culinary service, recognized her contributions to Northeast Oklahoma City, and posed for a photo after the unanimous approval.
The Board of County Commissioners read and approved a resolution honoring Florence Kemp for decades of service in the restaurant industry. Loeb, a county presenter, introduced Kemp and read portions of the resolution, saying Florence Kemp “has dedicated an impressive 74 years of her life to the culinary arts with over 70 years of service in the restaurant industry, providing her community with scratch made soul food that nourishes both body and spirit.” Commissioners applauded, approved the resolution by motion and second, and invited Kemp for a photograph. Kemp addressed the commission, saying, “I just wanna say thank you. I'm so happy to be here. I am surprised, and I just don't know what to say. I'm just so happy. I wanna thank everybody for helping me on the way.” The resolution recognizes Kemp’s long service in Northeast Oklahoma City and the state; the meeting record treated the item as a ceremonial recognition and did not attach funding or policy action to the resolution.
