BURBON HAGGARD
Burbon Polk Haggard, 85, of Savannah, died February 3, 2010 at Hardin Home Nursing Home, where she had resided for the past ten years. Hardin Home became her home where she made many friends and received tender loving care and excellent medical care.

Mrs. Haggard worked for thirty seven years in garment factories: at Dillion Manufacturing Company, Kay Windsor, Angelica, and as a supervisor at Savannah Manufacturing Company before her retirement. Many of her co-workers referred to her as the "Best Friend" they ever had, because of her caring, kind personality. She loved children and children were drawn to her. Some of the children in her neighborhood referred to her as their "second mother".
