Sangamon County Republican Central Committee Chairman (SCRCC) Rosemarie Long passed away on Wednesday, Feb. 3.
She contracted the coronavirus two months ago but was said to have felt better this week, according to newsbreak.com. Unfortunately, her condition took a turn for the worse and she died in a local hospital.
Long, who was a member of the Sangamon County Board for 17 years, according to the SRCC website has “served the people of Sangamon County with distinction and dedication.”
She has also served as Sangamon County Board’s vice chairman for six years.
Her passion for various community activities was demonstrated in joining several organizations. She was also a member of the WWII Illinois Veterans Memorial Committee and president of the Northend Republican Club.
“When I think about someone who exemplifies the perfect union of a kind heart, genuine character, and commitment to a cause - I think of Rosemarie Long,” ILGOP Chairman Tim Schneider said of Ms. Long. “Few people have made a greater impact on their community than she has. Sangamon County, Central Illinois, and the statewide Republican Party have lost a giant today. But more importantly, her family, countless friends, and loved ones have lost a beautiful soul. We hold them up in our thoughts and prayers at this time."
