A
Celebration
of Life Service will be held for Avis Buchanan on Tuesday, September 17, at
Israel Baptist Church (1251 Saratoga Avenue NE). "Avis was a dear
friend and a pioneer of justice," said Eric Bunn Sr., AFGE District 14
National Vice President. Buchanan's union activism spanned almost four decades;
she served as chief steward and president of AFGE Local 2782 at the U.S.
Census, trustee of several AFGE locals and most recently as Council 1
President. The viewing will be held from 10a-12 noon, and the service will
begin at 12 noon. There will be no interment; in lieu of flowers,
the family asks that you send memorial contributions to Israel Baptist Church.
You may also send other acts of condolences to the family through the
church.
