Bill > HR0435

This resolution mourns the passing of Helen Margaret (Norwood) Jackson, a Peoria native born on August 3, 1937, who worked as a nursing assistant and was self-employed for many years. The resolution highlights her lifelong involvement with Grace Baptist Church, where she served on the usher board, and celebrates her personal qualities of wit, humor, and love for her family. Helen was raised by her grandmother, Savannah Norwood, graduated from Peoria Manual High School in 1955, and enjoyed music, reading, and sporting events. The resolution notes that she was preceded in death by her parents and four grandchildren, and is survived by seven children, 18 grandchildren, and 36 great-grandchildren. The Illinois House of Representatives formally expresses deep sympathy to her family and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to her loved ones as a gesture of condolence, acknowledging her life and the impact she had on her community and family.
