Political Quotes

“Today I rise to honor the life and the legacy of Juliann MacDonald, a lifelong Missourian from Savannah who recently passed. Juliann was a beloved mother and grandmother who touched the lives of many in our community. Friends and family knew her as Mimi. She was someone who put service above herself, caring for her neighbors, her community, and especially her family. She regularly volunteered at multiple organizations and schools. She was deeply involved in her local church, and she brought joy to her book club with friends that cherished her company. Throughout a 42-year teaching career, her compassion, leadership, and dedication touched and inspired the lives of countless students who had the privilege of learning under her mentorship. A rich life and a storied legacy, Juliann leaves behind her husband, Martin; her sons, Ryan and Scott; her daughters-in-law, Vicki and Laura; and her two grandchildren, McKenzie and Jameson. My prayers are with her loved ones and with her family. ____________________”
