Regarding the passing of Ms. Lillie A. Estes

Richmond City Council / News Release

Friday, 1 February 2019

A statement from

Richmond City Council

Regarding the passing of Ms. Lillie A. Estes

                                                                        

                                                                                

(Richmond, Virginia U.S.A.) - “It was with profound sadness that Richmond City Council learned of the passing of Ms. Lillie A. Estes. Purpose and strategy driven, Ms. Estes was an ardent advocate and activist regarding poverty, housing, and social justice issues.

       

      Ms. Estes was an important part of the flourishing collective consciousness and historic arc of our community and she will be missed by those who knew, cared about, and whose lives were greatly impacted by her.

      Ms. Estes played an active role at our community table and was appointed to and served on many boards, commissions, and advisory councils, such as the

Anti-Poverty Commission, Hope in the Cities, and the Virginia Poverty Law Center. She also worked with countless community groups, individuals, and organizations in championing, planning, and implementing numerous neighborhood and city-wide oriented programs and projects.

        In America, public, elected, and community service are considered to be among the most important and noble work a person can do and, through her example, Ms. Lillie A. Estes proved her dedication to and support of the principles and creed written into the founding documents of our great Nation, in that our individual destinies and that of our families, communities, city, state, and country include not only the aspiration of our federal constitutional republic but, the time, talent, investment, labor, and dedication of all of its residents in realizing the fulfillment of its promise.

        Our hearts and prayers go out to her family and many friends during this difficult time as we share in mourning her passing and celebrating her life, legacy, and dedication as an important member of our community."
