Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

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.
