Tength Congressional District Democrats

By Lauren Beth Gash

A good friend and valued member of our Tenth Dems family recently passed from this life. Cosette Winter will be remembered well for her many volunteer contributions to important causes. We thank you, Cosette, and we are grateful.

Cosette Winter was a longtime Democratic activist and member of the Tenth Dems Leadership Committee. She was an amazing friend, volunteer and advisor during my own State Rep campaign days. More recently, I enjoyed working with her on causes, and I will miss our long walks together at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Cosette was truly a citizen extraordinaire: among other things, she served as a Democratic Precinct Committeewoman, a school board member, a campaign organizer for so many candidates, a League of Women Voters leader and much more. A master gardener, Cosette put her talents to work volunteering at the Chicago Botanic Garden and in the Village of Bannockburn, making the town a much more beautiful place for her presence.

Cosette’s family will be hosting a memorial celebration of her life. This will be a time to remember her life and accomplishments and share stories with one another. Snacks and beverages will be served as well.
