In Memoriam
2011 honoree at our annual May Dinner
|
On June 6th, 2017, our town and county lost a fierce advocate for human rights with the passing of Doris Kelly.
Doris served on the Town of Hyde Park Planning Board, was elected to represent Ward 4 on the Town Board, and was a former Board member of the Hyde Park Visual Environment Committee. In 2004, she stepped up and ran for Congress in the 20th district against a Republican incumbent. Doris' family is planning a celebration of her life in mid-July. We will provide more information once a date and location is confirmed. |
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you consider contributing to a scholarship fund that will be established in her memory. It will help girls from low-income families attend the Eleanor Roosevelt Center Girls' Leadership Worldwide program.
