Bill > SR0183

This resolution mourns the passing of Patricia Ann "Patty" Stremsterfer, a dedicated community volunteer from Pleasant Plains, Illinois, who lived from 1932 to 2025. Born to Harry and Ruth Hartmann, Patty was a valedictorian of Pleasant Plains High School who worked various jobs including at Franklin Life Insurance and her family's grocery store, while primarily being a farmer's wife. She was deeply committed to community service, volunteering at Memorial Medical Center for over 40 years, giving manicures at a nursing home, teaching sewing at the local library, and serving as an election judge. Recognized for her volunteer work with awards in 2017 and 2018, Patty was also an active church member and community club participant who enjoyed activities like sewing, bowling, and traveling. The resolution acknowledges her surviving family members, including her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and expresses sincere condolences to her loved ones. The Illinois Senate formally resolves to mourn her passing and extend sympathy to her family, with a plan to present an official copy of the resolution to her family as a gesture of respect and remembrance.
