 Combining expertise
and enthusiasm for 4-H youth, Jean Stoll co-founded the Wo-He-Lo 4-H
club in the 1960's. A charter member of the Chestnut Happy
Homemakers and a certified Master Food Preserver, Jean judged 4-H
Foods and Foods Demonstrations for more than 10 years at county
shows and the Illinois State Fair. Jean – 4-H "Mom" to eight and
"Grandma" to twenty-six – furnished countless 4-H youth within her
family and beyond with cooking tips, public presentation coaching,
and textiles projects assistance for forty-five consecutive years.
Memorial gifts received after her passing in 2006 produced the
Delivering Dynamic Demonstrations DVD released in 2011.
Mrs. Stoll was one of 45 members of the Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame
Class of 2012 from throughout the state.
The Illinois 4-H Foundation established the Hall of Fame in 2005
to honor extraordinary 4-H alumni, volunteers and former 4-H staff.
Illinois 4-H Hall of Fame inductees have a track record of exemplary
service to 4-H or outstanding career and community achievement and
are nominated by either county University of Illinois Extension
staff or by the Illinois 4-H Foundation Board.
