Seeds for the Future

Pahl was a member of the Service League of Cherokee County for 10 years, as well as the League’s president in 1985, its 50th anniversary year. During her year as president, the League began work on the cookbook “League Legacy” and on the Riverfest Arts and Crafts Festival, the organization’s biggest annual fundraiser.

In her spare time over the years, Pahl served as president of the Canton Jaycettes, was in the Rotary Club of Canton and was on the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce board of directors. She also volunteered with the American Cancer Society and with A Day for Reinhardt.

Pahl has been a member of Canton First Baptist Church since moving to Cherokee County in 1969, taught the children’s Sunday school class in the 1970s, and was the teacher for adults with disabilities for many years. “I will continue to attend First Baptist Church and thank Jesus for all the blessings for my 79 years,” she said.

In retirement, Pahl continues serving others and looks forward to traveling with her husband, Horace. She volunteers by helping raise funds for InCommunity, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit headquartered in Atlanta that provides community-based services and support to people with developmental disabilities and their families. Currently, she is working on the nonprofit’s 34th annual gala, to be held at the Georgia Aquarium May 20. Pahl also has joined the Hickory Flat Optimist Club and is planning to volunteer with the Farm Bureau.
