SR0833 is a Senate resolution expressing sorrow over the death of Kathleen Stacy (Boynton) Holland of Frankfort, who passed away on April 4, 2026 at age 72. The resolution recounts her life, education, family, and long record of civic service, including her 23 years as director of community relations for Lincoln-Way High School District 210, where she helped launch the Lincoln-Way Foundation for Educational Excellence and supported fundraising for students and teachers.
The resolution also highlights her broader community involvement and advocacy for education, noting her service on the Placentia Yorba Linda School Board in California and her participation in organizations such as the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra, New Lenox Rotary Club, Suburban Service League, Silver Cross Hospital Foundation, and League of Women Voters. It closes by offering condolences to her family and directing that a suitable copy be presented to them as an expression of sympathy and respect.
SR0833 does not change Illinois statutes or create new legal obligations. Its effect is ceremonial and commemorative, formally recording the Senate’s condolences and honoring Stacy Holland’s contributions to education, community service, and civic life. The resolution primarily affects the Senate record and the family of the deceased, rather than state agencies, local governments, or private parties.
The sentiment surrounding the resolution is uniformly positive and respectful. The bill text is written in a memorial tone, emphasizing Stacy Holland’s warmth, leadership, service, and impact on schools and the broader community. No votes or committee transcripts are provided, but the resolution itself reflects clear bipartisan or noncontroversial commemorative intent typical of condolence resolutions.
There is no apparent contention in the available materials. The resolution is a nonbinding tribute, and the provided record includes no committee debate, amendments, or recorded opposition. Any discussion would likely focus on honoring Stacy Holland’s legacy rather than on policy differences or legal effects.
