Statement
from Mayor Tom Bates on the Passing of Former Council Member Margaret
Breland "It is with great
sadness that I learned Margaret Breland passed away this morning.
Her years of service to this community make her a true Berkeley
hero. Margaret will be
greatly missed by all of us that were lucky enough to know her – and by
countless others who have benefited from her leadership, her work, and her
tremendous kindness. During her years on the
City Council, Margaret brought with her a dignity and grace that lifted us
all. She remained dedicated
to serving her constituents and the entire City, even as she struggled
through illness over the past couple of years.
She worked tirelessly to provide affordable housing, expand access
to health care, ensure our police and fire departments had the resources
they needed, and support our youth. Of course, no memory of
Margaret is complete without mentioning her faith and dedication to her
church. Her faith brought her a strength and determination that
helped guide all her life’s work. As a nurse, a mother, and a community leader, Margaret Breland was an example for all of us to follow." # # # |
