Arrangements for the final farewell ceremony of late ex-Governor of Illinois, Jim Edgar, have been made public
Former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar Remembered at Memorial Services
Former Illinois Governor Jim Edgar, who served from 1991 to 1999 and was the last Republican governor in the USA elected to more than one term, passed away on Sunday at the age of 79. His cause of death was pancreatic cancer.
Governor Edgar will lie in-state at the Illinois State Capitol Building on Friday from 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., and visitors are welcome to pay their respects. The search results do not provide specific information about who will be temporarily lying in state.
On Saturday, memorial services for Jim Edgar will be held at Central Baptist Church in Springfield. The services will take place at 11 a.m. and will be live streamed for those who cannot attend in person.
The Saturday memorial services are expected to attract a large number of attendees, given Jim Edgar's reputation as a bipartisan leader. He is remembered as someone who served the state well during his tenure.
After the Saturday memorial services, Jim Edgar will be laid to rest this week, but the location of his burial has not been specified in the article.
Jim Edgar's memorial services will be a time for the state to come together and remember a great leader who made a lasting impact on Illinois.
