In Memoriam - Charlotte Mailliard Shultz

---

September 26, 1933, - December  3, 2021

San Francisco Mayor London Breed on Friday announced the death of Charlotte Mailliard Shultz, the city's longtime Chief of Protocol who oversaw the hosting of foreign dignitaries and advised several mayors on diplomatic and consular matters.  Shultz, who also served as chief of protocol for the state from 2004-2010 after being appointed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, served on the boards of many local boards for organizations like the San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Symphony and San Francisco Ballet, and was president of the San Francisco War Memorial Board of Trustees.  Mayor Breed released a statement after learning of Shultz's passing saying, "We have lost our Grande Dame. The bright lights of San Francisco are forever diminished with the loss of Charlotte, but her impact, legacy, and love will live with us for generations."

Senator Dianne Feinstein also tweeted Friday afternoon saying Charlotte and her husband George were two of her closest friends and many of her fondest memories were the times they shared together. 

Charlotte was a great friend to the Irish and was famous for telling the story that Cork's River Lee was probably named after former Mayor Edwin Lee as a result of the sister city connection.

Charlotte's presence was notably absent at this past Irish Flag raising ceremony and will be truly missed.

The San Francisco Cork Sister City Committee is saddened and shocked by the sudden and untimely passing of our Honorary Chairman, Mayor Edwin M. Lee. 

Mayor Lee was a loyal friend to the Irish American Community of San Francisco and an enthusiastic supporter of the sister city relationship with Cork, Ireland.

Mayor Lee visited Cork twice as Mayor of San Francisco, leading delegations of San Franciscans to Ireland. In March 2013, Mayor Lee served as Grand Marshal of the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Cork and on his most recent trip to Cork in September 2017, he was the keynote speaker at the UNESCO LifeTime Learning Conference.  

In November 2017, Mayor Lee hosted Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar at San Francisco City Hall. The Taoiseach shared his personal condolences for Mayor Lee on Twitter Tuesday morning. 

The San Francisco Cork Sister City Committee wish to express our heartfelt condolences to Mrs. Anita Lee and her family.
