City officials in Cumming have released the name of the city worker who was killed in a city parking lot earlier this week when she was struck by a vehicle. She was Crystal Sawyer, 44, an Inventory Clerk in the city’s Utilities Distribution & Collection Division.
Sawyer had been employed by the City of Cumming since Sept. 8, 2020, initially in the Utilities Billing Division at City Hall. On June 28, 2023, she transferred to the Utilities Distribution & Collection Division headquarters on Dahlonega Highway. That building’s parking lot was the site of the accident, which happened Monday morning about 7:00.
In honor of Sawyer’s memory, flags at all City of Cumming facilities will be flown at half-staff from
the end of the day Friday through the end of the day the following Friday, March 21.
