Three Gainesville women — Rosemary Dodd, Mary Hart Wilheit and the late Nell Wiegand — were honored Thursday as “Magnolias Among Us” at the Northeast Georgia History Center’s annual Taste of History fundraiser. “Empathy, spirit and service are some of the things that these ladies exude … and they’ve taught us those things, too,” said Glen Kyle, director of the museum at Brenau University in Gainesville. “That’s why we’re here today. People like (the women) have helped us grow into this amazing thing that we call home.”
