                        Tuesday, August 23, 2022

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today I want to celebrate the life of 
Elvata Calloway, a resident of the 13th District, in memory of her 
passing this month.
  Mother Elvata Calloway was born on December 25, 1934, in Pickens, 
Mississippi, and later moved to River Rouge with her aunt Elisa Day 
Adams and her family. She married the love of her life, Willie 
Calloway, Sr., in 1951. Soon after, they moved to Detroit to grow their 
family.
  Ms. Calloway was a member of the Eastern Star organization, where she 
dedicated her life to service of others. Ms. Calloway was a light to 
all her family and friends and enjoyed spending time with them. The 
13th Congressional District is saddened by the loss of Mother Elvata 
Calloway and share our deepest prayers and sympathy with the Calloway 
family.
  Please join me in celebrating the life of Mother Elvata Calloway, who 
will truly be missed by her family and loved ones, as we honor her 
memory.
