The Speaker, on behalf of the entire membership of the House of Representatives, offered the following resolution:
House Resolution No. 7.
A resolution of tribute offered as a memorial for Kate Ebli, former member of the House of Representatives.
Whereas, The members and staff of the Michigan Legislature were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our friend and former colleague, Kate Ebli. With her strength, personal integrity, and courage so fresh in all of our minds, we offer her husband, daughter, and entire family our deepest condolences over the loss of this talented and unselfish woman; and
Whereas, Kate Ebli, a graduate of Pennsylvania State University who earned her master's degree at Oakland University, distinguished herself throughout her career as an executive in the telecommunications industry. She also compiled a stellar record as a community activist prior to devoting herself to pursuing elective public service. Through her efforts with senior citizens, young people, the Raisin River Center for the Arts, the Monroe County United Way, her parish, and numerous other groups, she had an impact on and understanding of her community that were greatly appreciated; and
Whereas, Elected to the House of Representatives in a special election in November 2006, Kate Ebli had a notable impact during her tenure at the Capitol. Her diligence, sense of humor, and capacity to take on difficult challenges earned her the respect of everyone. Even amid her battles with health, she remained a fighter for a stronger Michigan. Fittingly, one of her last actions was to support the cause of reaching out to the families of deceased or injured police officers. Clearly, the legacy of her dedication to others will long endure; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That we offer this expression of our highest tribute to honor the memory of Kate Ebli, a member of this legislative body from 2006 to 2010; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Ebli family as evidence of our lasting esteem for her memory.
