Mourning the death of Alice Roker, beloved public servant and devoted mother and grandmother

Senate Resolution 427 honors Alice Roker, a former Yorktown Heights Town Clerk and the first African American to serve on the town government, following her death on February 10, 2025. The resolution expresses the legislative body's condolences to her family and commemorates her life of public service, including her career as a journalist (awarded an Emmy and New York Broadcaster's Association award) and her dedication to community preservation.
