Former Montgomery Mayor Emory Folmar, one of the city's most prominent figures, will be laid to rest Monday [November 14th, 2011].
Folmar, 81, was mayor of the Capital City from 1977 to 1999. He died Friday evening at his Montgomery home after an extended illness.
"We are grateful for the fact that he lived a full life and passed away in his sleep at home," said Folmar's granddaughter, Emily Flowers.
Following a private graveside service, a memorial service for Folmar will be held at 3:30 p.m. Monday at Trinity Presbyterian Church, 1728 S. Hull St.
Mayor Todd Strange said Folmar will be given full honors during the private ceremony.
