(MENAFN- PR Newswire) CHICAGO, April 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Treasurer Maria
Pappas remembered Cook County Clerk Karen Yarbrough as a friend and dedicated public servant who demonstrated that politicians of different races can successfully work together. Yarbrough died Sunday, April 7, 2024. She was 73.
"Karen Yarborough and I had a friendship that crossed racial lines. If all blacks and whites got along as well as we did, the city, state, and county would be a better place to live.
We were soul sisters and gossip buddies.
She is irreplaceable in Politics because she represented kindness and compassion. She never had two stories.
It's a totally different ball game today.
Karen had an innate, God-given talent of compassion that can't be taught. She was born with a gift of kindness.
I don't know who in the Democratic party is that gifted.
I will miss my locker buddy across the hall."
