Mourning the death of Charlotte "Chuckie" Holstein, distinguished citizen, committed civic leader, and devoted member of her community

Senate Resolution 1311 honors Charlotte "Chuckie" Holstein, a Syracuse civic leader who died on December 2, 2025, at age 100, for her decades of service including co-founding Leadership Greater Syracuse and Meals on Wheels. The resolution, adopted on January 21, 2026, directs the New York State Senate to pause its proceedings in mourning and to send a copy to her family. It recognizes her work as a teacher, advocate for women's leadership, and community organizer who served on numerous boards focused on education, healthcare, and human rights. This procedural resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally commemorates her legacy.
