WASHINGTON - Today, Congresswoman Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-Del.), issued the following statement on the passing of Major General Carol Timmons. Timmons served as the Adjutant General of the Delaware National Guard from 2017-2019, serving as the first female Adjutant General in Delaware’s history.
“My heart breaks at the passing of General Timmons. Her groundbreaking and remarkable service to our state was marked by a fierce but humble determination. That determination was evident in the pursuit of her dream of flying combat missions for the United States - a dream deferred by discriminatory regulations but later realized by Gen. Timmons. That determination to serve translated into truly remarkable leadership, when she would eventually become the first female Adjutant General of the Delaware National Guard. Anyone who knew Gen. Timmons could see immediately that her passion for service was infections - passed down to all she led. We’ll miss that infectious spirit and that quiet determination. A grateful state and nation salutes the service of Major General Carol Timmons.”
