MEMORAL-WILLIE M. HEMPHILL

This Senate resolution honors the life of Willie Mae Hemphill, who passed away in March 2025, and offers condolences to her family and friends. The document highlights her background, including her work as a medical technician and teacher in Arkansas, her service as an assistant caretaker for civil rights activist Daisy Bates, and her recent volunteer efforts with the Community Table in Chicago. It does not create new laws or policies but serves as a formal expression of sympathy from the Illinois Senate.
