In 1984, Judge Mary Cranford made history by being elected the first female judge in Coweta County. In her 35 year tenure as probate judge, she’s overseen quite a few changes in the county and how probate court is handled. 

With over 40 years of working and serving inside the Coweta County Court System, she now prepares to retire and reflects on her career in the service of others. 

“There’s a lot of helping people involved in the court, and I liked that,” she said.
