SAVANNAH – Flo Thurman never received a penny for her 40-year volunteer service career in emergency medical services. As the first woman chief of Swansboro EMS/Rescue squad, Thurman blazed a path for many to follow, including her daughter Lahoma Patton. This year for Mother’s Day, Patton has created a legacy in her mom’s honor that will support EMS students at Savannah Technical College.
