REMEMBERING AND HONORING MARY LOTT WALKER
______
HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER
of georgia
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, May 25, 2021
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to remember and honor Mary Lott Walker of Blackshear, Georgia who passed away on May 12th at the age of 85.
Mary loved her city of Blackshear, her state of Georgia, and her country the United States of America devotedly.
After graduating from Georgia State College for Women, Mary began her influential career in public education.
Mary was also involved in politics, becoming the first woman in Blackshear to serve as Mayor pro-term. Through her work in Georgian education, politics, and historical preservation, Mary inspired young people to achieve greatness.
Above all, she devoted more than 67 years of membership and leadership to the Blackshear Presbyterian Church.
Mary's profound community impacts will be felt for generations to come.
My thoughts and prayers are with her family, friends, and all who knew her during this most difficult time.
