Georgia's former first lady and champion of literacy has school named in her honor
GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A northeast Georgia school is now known as the Sandra Dunagan Deal Elementary School in honor of the state’s former first lady who died in 2022. Ribbon-cutting ceremonies were held Monday for the school in Gainesville, replacing both White Sulphur and Riverbend Elementary Schools, which were phased out of service. Deal, who died of cancer at the age of 80, served as first lady from 2011 to 2019 alongside her husband, former Gov.
