This resolution mourns the passing of Mary Colleen Kilbride, a longtime Pontiac resident who died on January 20, 2025. Born in Streator in 1928 to Emmett and Eileen Coughlin, Kilbride was a dedicated professional who worked at the Kankakee County Mutual Fire Insurance Company, Kankakee Community College, and the VA Hospital in Dwight. She was deeply involved in her Catholic faith, serving as president of the Altar and Rosary Society at St. Teresa's Catholic Church in Kankakee and being an associate with the Servants of the Holy Heart of Mary for 20 years. The resolution highlights her community involvement, including membership in various organizations and volunteer work at Provena St. Mary's Hospital. It also acknowledges her personal life, noting her marriage to Leo Kilbride in 1950 and her joy in spending time with her family, which includes four children (one a former Illinois Supreme Court Justice), 13 grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild. The resolution expresses condolences to her family and directs that a copy be presented to them as a gesture of sympathy, commemorating her life and contributions to her community.
