FROM THE HOUSTON FAMILY:
It is with heavy hearts, great sadness, yet spiritual joy we share the news of the passing
of our beloved mother, Bessie Lee Houston. Mom passed away peacefully at home Wednesday,
October 11th. As her children, we shared her final breath as she shared our first. Our
mother was a devoted Christian, Educator, Singer, and Servant leader. A determined
advocate for children and Chicago's westdide, she served as a Daycare Director for over
40 years at Marillac House Social Center, an Ambassador for United Way and a distinguished
champion for social justice and change standing with leaders from Dr. Martin Luther King to
President Barack Obama and countless other government, spiritual and national officials.
