Carter | C001125 | troycarter.house.gov | troycarter | https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | NEW ORLEANS, LA – Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-LA) issued the following statement after the announcement that Sybil Haydel Morial passed away: “My heart is heavy with the news of the passing of the beloved Sybil Haydel Morial. Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of such a remarkable woman. Mrs. Morial’s legacy as the matriarch of the iconic Morial family and her own contributions to civil rights and the city of New Orleans will forever be remembered with reverence and gratitude. “As the wife of the late Ernest “Dutch” Morial, New Orleans’ first African American Mayor, she stood as a pillar of strength, grace, and wisdom—not only for her family but for countless individuals whose lives she touched through her tireless advocacy and leadership. Her commitment to education, equality, and justice served as a beacon of hope, inspiring generations to continue the fight for a more just society. “Though words can scarcely ease the grief that you must be feeling at this time, I hope you find comfort in knowing that her spirit lives on in the enduring legacy of service, dignity, and love she instilled in all of us. Her impact on the world will continue through her children, her grandchildren, and the many lives she uplifted. “May God bless you and keep you in His grace during this difficult time.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:43:57Z |
