Mast analysis

Mast interpretation

Governor Wes Moore orders the Maryland flag lowered to half-staff in honor of former State Delegate Carolyn J.B. Howard, who represented Legislative District 24 in the House of Delegates from 1988 to 1990 and again from 1991 to 2019. The tribute recognizes her public service and marks the day of her funeral service.

The Maryland flag is to be lowered from sunrise to sunset on Tuesday, October 6, 2026. No broader geographic limitation is stated, so the order applies statewide.

Maryland’s flag status follows the half-staff observance for the funeral service and returns to full-staff after sunset that day.
