SENATE RESOLUTION

WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois Senate are saddened to learn of the death of Lorry Jean Dacy of Harvard, who passed away on February 3, 2017 at the age 64; and

WHEREAS, Lorry Dacy was born in Harvard to Lloyd and Dona McConnell on April 30, 1952; she married the love of her life, David M. Dacy, on June 21, 1969; and

WHEREAS, Lorry Dacy worked at the Harvard State Bank for nearly two decades and it became her second home; everyone at the bank, from her colleagues to the customers with whom she spoke daily, was a second, extended family; they were there for her in good times, and later when she battled illness; they meant more to her (and to her family) than they may ever fully know; and

WHEREAS, Lorry Dacy liked to sit quietly in the backyard and read; she was an avid gardener and enjoyed watching the birds she fed regularly; she enjoyed traveling with her husband and spending time with her grandchildren; she was quiet and unassuming, but she was the rock of stability for her family and kept everyone strong; and

WHEREAS, Lorry Dacy was preceded in death by her father, Lloyd McConnell; and

WHEREAS, Lorry Dacy is survived by her best friend and beloved husband of 47 years, David; one child, Joseph (Jennifer) Dacy; two grandchildren, Coen and Zachery Dacy; her mother, Dona; and her sisters, Marilyn McCormick, Betsy Milligan, and Gail Barber; therefore, be it

RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE ONE HUNDREDTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we mourn the passing of Lorry J. Dacy, and extend our sincere condolences to her family, friends, and all who knew and loved her; and be it further

RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be presented to the family of Lorry Dacy as an expression of our deepest sympathy.
