Purpose and intent

SR 384 is a non‑binding Senate memorial resolution that mourns the passing of Trustee Mary Anne (Raymond) Blair of the Woodridge Village Board of Trustees, recognizes her life and public service, expresses condolences to her family and community, and directs that a suitable copy of the resolution be presented to her family.

Key provisions and findings

  • Records that Trustee Mary Anne Blair passed away on July 10, 2025.
  • Provides biographical details, including birth on February 1, 1953; upbringing in Bellwood; education at Immaculate Heart of Mary High School and attendance at Quincy College; and marriage to Donald Blair in September 1974.
  • Notes nearly 40 years of public service in Woodridge: service as a commissioner of the Woodridge Board of Police Commissioners and later as the longest‑serving trustee on the Woodridge Village Board of Trustees.
  • Describes community and civic involvement: active membership in the Woodridge Rotary Club, service as a Eucharistic minister at St. Scholastica Catholic Church, and long‑standing participation in the State Police Officers Memorial Committee (since 1990).
  • Acknowledges family relationships: mother of Jennifer (John Albright) Blair, Stephanie (Matt) Campbell, and Katie (Mike) Reed; grandmother of six; sister of Chuck and the late Anthony (and the late Margaret).
  • Expresses the Senate’s condolences and directs that a suitable copy of the resolution be presented to Trustee Blair’s family.

Who is affected

  • Primary: the family, friends, colleagues, and constituents of Mary Anne Blair in Woodridge.
  • Secondary: the Woodridge civic community and organizations with which she worked.
  • Legal/fiscal impact: none — this is a ceremonial memorial resolution with no binding legal or budgetary effect.

Procedural notes

  • The resolution was considered and adopted by the Senate in 2025 and subsequently enrolled and filed; co‑sponsorship and placement on the Resolutions Consent Calendar are recorded in the legislative actions.
  • The document in the legislative file also contains an unrelated recognition resolution for a different individual (Becky Futch); SR 384, as titled and adopted, concerns Mary Anne Blair.

This resolution formally recognizes Mary Anne Blair’s public service and expresses the Senate’s sympathy to her survivors.
