In accordance with the Presidential proclamation, Governor Ivey has authorized flags be flown at half-staff effective immediately on the grounds of the Alabama State Capitol Complex in Montgomery and throughout the state of Alabama until the day of interment of Pope Francis, who passed away on Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88.<\/p>\n

Gov. Ivey then authorized flags to continue to be flown at half-staff on Friday, April 25, 2025, to honor the life of former Lieutenant Governor George McMillan who passed away at the age of 81 on April 18, 2025.<\/p>\n

Pope Francis, born in Argentina of Italian immigrant parents, was the first head of the Catholic Church from the Americas. He left a legacy of love and compassion for all. He made history not only for hailing from Latin America, but also for his succession of a living pope, Benedict XVI, the first papal abdication in over 600 years. \u201cAs President Trump noted, Pope Francis was a very good man who loved the world,\u201d Ivey\u2019s release shared.<\/p>\n

George McMillan, Gov. Ivey described, \u201ctreasured being in public service and was a man of great ideas throughout his life. I join with all Alabamians in offering prayers of support for his family.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
