The Senate Resolution expresses deep sorrow over the passing of the Honorable Katherine "Katie" True, a former eight-term member of the House of Representatives from Lancaster County, who died on October 7, 2025. Born on January 16, 1941, in Baltimore, Maryland, Ms. True was a dedicated public servant who first won election to the House in 1992, representing the 37th District until 2000. After serving as Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Commission for Women, she returned to the General Assembly, winning election to the newly created 41st District seat in 2002, where she served until 2010. Her contributions to the legislative and executive branches of the Commonwealth are recognized, particularly her advocacy on issues such as independent living, human trafficking, and child protective services.

The resolution also highlights Ms. True's personal life, noting that she is survived by her six sons, 12 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren. The Senate extends its heartfelt condolences to the True family and commends Ms. True for her effectiveness as a legislator and her compassionate leadership. A copy of the resolution will be sent to the True family as a gesture of respect and remembrance for her significant contributions to the community and the state.
