  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.
