Shutterbug photo contest dedicated in memory of Mary Adele Blackwell

The 2022 Shutterbugs contest is dedicated to Mary Adele Blackwell (October 29, 1944 - November 15, 2021). Mary Adele Blackwell, an enthusiastic member of  Shutterbugs, lent grace and friendship to the club for many years. She loved to photograph her family, items of local interest, wildflowers, and her travels. Whether through the Cuero Livestock Commission or through teaching piano lessons, she supported youth development throughout her life. This was true for her love of photography and she was always ready to help young people develop their picture-taking skills. This year’s Shutterbugs contest and display is dedicated to her memory.
