A RESOLUTION adjourning the Senate in honor and loving memory of Rebecca Hogston.
Summary
SR266 is a Senate resolution honoring the life and memory of Rebecca Hogston of Feds Creek, Kentucky. The resolution recites biographical details about her birth in Fishtrap in 1938, her life as a homemaker and member of Lick Creek Holiness Church, her family relationships, and her passing on November 6, 2024, at age 86. It also recognizes her generosity, compassion, and the positive role she played in her church and community.
The operative provisions express the Senate’s sympathy to her family and direct that, when the Senate adjourns on the day of adoption, it do so in her honor and loving memory. The Clerk of the Senate is instructed to transmit a copy of the resolution to Senator Phillip Wheeler for delivery to the family. This is a commemorative resolution only and does not create or amend any substantive law.
