| WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the State of Illinois |
| 3 |
| learned with sadness of the death of Margaret McAuliffe Kueste |
| 4 |
| of Burbank on June 6, 2005; and
|
| 5 |
| WHEREAS, She was born on April 9, 1918, and took an active |
| 6 |
| role in helping rear her 12 brothers and sisters in Chicago's |
| 7 |
| Gage Park community; she married James T. McAuliffe, a |
| 8 |
| supervisor at Bethlehem Steel, with whom she had nine children, |

| two of whom preceded her in death; she and Mr. McAuliffe were |
| 10 |
| married for 30 years; and
|
| 11 |
| WHEREAS, Mr. McAuliffe preceded her in death, and she later |
| 12 |
| moved to Oak Lawn; she married Herbert Kueste and the couple |
| 13 |
| lived in Burbank; they were married for 25 years until he also |
| 14 |
| preceded her in death; and
|
| 15 |
| WHEREAS, Mrs. Kueste took pride in her many relatives; her |

| to 119 direct descendants, most of whom live in the Southland |
| 18 |
| area of Chicago; and
|
| 19 |
| WHEREAS, Mrs. Kueste is remembered as always having each |
| 20 |
| meal on the table for her family like clockwork and as the |
| 21 |
| quintessential 1950s mom; she loved to cook, perfecting her |
| 22 |
| spaghetti recipe and filling her home with the smell of baking |
| 23 |
| bread and cakes; and
|
| 24 |
| WHEREAS, The passing of Margaret McAuliffe Kueste has been |
| 25 |
| deeply felt by many, especially her seven children, her 35 |
| 26 |
| grandchildren, her 59 great-grandchildren, her six |
| 27 |
| great-great-grandchildren, and her numerous nieces and |
| 28 |
| nephews; therefore, be it
|

| RESOLVED, BY THE SENATE OF THE NINETY-FOURTH GENERAL |
