Redmond Family Reunion

Andrew Redmond and Mary Brooks

Itasca, IL

July 17-19, 2026

Message from the Committee

This reunion is more than a celebration. It is a sacred opportunity to weave together the threads of our shared history. Many of us have lived as distant branches on the same family tree, connected by blood but separated by miles and years. Now, we gather to share our memories, to tell the stories that might otherwise be lost, to learn the names and faces that complete our family portrait, and to create a new tradition that we can pass on to the generations yet to come.

Whether you carry memories of Mississippi summers or Midwest winters, whether you knew our ancestors personally or only through stories passed down, you are an essential part of this reunion. Your presence honors those who came before and blesses those who will come after. We’ve made a considerable effort to make this reunion affordable and accessible.

We are rooted in love. We are grounded in legacy. And together, we are stronger than we have ever been.

We hope you join us.

With love,

Raja’Nee Redmond (Chair), Kenyatta Horton, Mary Lisa Redmond, LaChelle Redmond, Corey Redmond, & Evelyn Horton-Worthy

Join us for the Reunion!
