Poetic Obituaries: [Mary Sue "Petey" Martin] Giroux was the Georgia PTA's

first environmental chair, and spent more than 11 years at the Environmental Protection Division of the state Department of Natural Resources, most recently as an environmental education coordinator. She popularized a national poetry contest called "River of Words" that Georgia students went on to win.

"Petey made an enormous mark on our agency, by being the face of where we were going," said Deron Davis, who directs the EPD's Water Smart program.
