PLYMOUTH — Pending the approval of the Marshall County Council in their next meeting, Marshall County will honor former Congresswoman Jackie Walorski by naming the section of Michigan Road (Old US 31) in the county’s jurisdiction after her.
Walorski died in a tragic car accident in August of 2022, along with two staff members, Zachery Potts and Emma Thomson, while on a visit to the district on government business.
Commissioner Jesse Bohannon, citing Walorski as a “personal friend and mentor” and saying she was largely responsible for his running for office, brought the resolution to the Marshall County Commissioners during their Monday morning meeting.
The resolution would not officially change the name of Michigan Road, so no official addresses would change on the route. Signs would be placed along the road with the designation to honor Walorski.
The resolution will now be presented to the Marshall County Council for their consideration.
