SPRINGFIELD – A Sandwich woman was inducted into the Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame, the Illinois Department on Aging announced last week. Cynthia Worsley was selected for her service to the aging population of North Central Illinois for nearly 40 years. She is the executive director of Fox Valley Community Services, a nonprofit organization serving older adults in DeKalb, Kane, Kendall and LaSalle counties. Worsley was also a driving force behind the opening of a new adult day service center in DeKalb to help older adults.
“This year’s Hall of Fame honorees prove that there is truly no age limit when it comes to pursuing our passions and making a difference,” said Governor JB Pritzker.
Created by the General Assembly in 1994, the Senior Illinoisan Hall of Fame award commemorates the achievements and contributions of Illinois residents age 65 and older who have made a positive impact in their community. Inductees are selected through a statewide nomination and judging process and honored at local award ceremonies.
