Orange Co. Commissioner Theresa Beauchamp was presented with a plaque Tuesday in appreciation of her time on the court. Last year Beauchamp decided she would not run again for her Precinct 2 seat.
Commissioners Robert Viator, Kirk Roccaforte, Johnny Trahan and Judge John Gothia also gave her a plaque with her signature on it for all the times they would kid her about how long it took her to read and sign her name on documents. Beauchamp was in a wheelchair today because she suffered a hip injury.
Beauchamp said, “It was an honor to work with the Court and the staff. We not only worked together but we became friends.”
Judge Gothia added, “It was an honor and privilege to work with you.”
Beauchamp was a longtime educator and also served on the Orange City Council. She followed her mother Marcelle Adams, who in 1987 was the first female ever elected to serve on the court.
After the county’s business was taken care of today, all in attendance ate cake at a reception for her.
Chris Sowell will replace Beauchamp in January. He won the Precinct 2 seat back in March.
