DETROIT A memorial service will be held on Thursday to celebrate the life and legacy of former State Representative Alma G. Stallworth, honoring her decades of public service, political activism, and devotion to family and community.
A live stream of the service will be available in this article and here at 12 p.m. on Thursday.
Stallworth was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1932, and moved with her family to Detroit as a young child.
In 1951, she married Thomas Fontaine Stallworth, Jr., and the couple raised two sons, Thomas Fontaine, III, and Keith Bernard.
Returning home to personally provide checks from the Stallworth Scholarship Fund to graduating Drug-Free Scholars was her last act of public service.
