Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to her beloved family during this difficult time.Together, let us honor Councilwoman Wilhoite’s memory by continuing the work she started and by cherishing the values she held dear.
Councilwoman Wilhoite’s 18 years of dedicated service to our county leaves an indelible mark, particularly in her immeasurable contribution toward good fiscal governance.

As the County Council’s Budget Chair, her financial expertise, honed through her accounting degree from the University of Notre Dame and CPA qualifications, played a pivotal role in our county’s progress.
