Bill > HR0449

This resolution mourns the passing of Mother Mary Ann Robinson from Peoria, Illinois, who died on August 16, 2025, and honors her life and contributions. Born on October 11, 1947, to Shellie and Minnie Mae Robinson, she worked at the Pere Marquette Hotel and St. Francis Hospital for 25 years and was a dedicated member of New Life Christian Center for over 40 years, serving in various church ministry roles. The resolution highlights her commitment to family, having raised five sons and being remembered for her infectious smile, love of games like spades and bid wiz, and her ability to make people feel welcome. It acknowledges her surviving family members, including her sons, siblings, 26 grandchildren, 32 great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild, and recognizes her previous losses, including her parents, life partner Albert Gene Russell, and her daughter Carla. The Illinois House of Representatives expresses deep condolences to her family and friends and resolves to present a copy of the resolution to her family as a token of sympathy.
