North Jackson Rotarian Virginia Carlton was recognized by the club and by Rotary District 6820 for her lifetime of public service at the club’s May 11 meeting. Carlton who is now a Presiding Judge on the Mississippi Court of Appeals has served her state and country as a military officer where she rose to the rank of Colonel before retiring. Prior to becoming a Court of Appeals judge, Carlton served as a member of the Mississippi House of Representatives and as an assistant district attorney.
Carlton’s recognition was originally scheduled for the Women in Rotary luncheon in 2020, but that recognition was postponed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
