McDONOUGH —Members of the Henry County Fire Department recognized 10-year-old Marley Parker and her mother Melissa Rommelman this week for their life-saving skills after rescuing a 4-year-old neighbor out of the deep end of the swimming pool earlier this month.
On June 12, while playing in the pool with friends, Marley noticed that her 4-year-old neighbor was missing and discovered her at the 8-foot-deep end of her swimming pool. She swam into action bringing her neighbor to the surface when her mom stepped in and began giving the 4-year-old CPR until first responders arrived. When they did arrive, Marley’s neighbor was breathing and conscious.
