Tribute to Elise Malary

The Chicago Therapy Collective co-founder, Iggy Ladden shared heartfelt condolence on her death. She stated,
“Elise faced hardness and chose kindness. She faced cruelty and chose softness and love, joy. She chose to giving people the benefit of the doubt. Elise looked for the good in them. She chose compassion. And she chose time and time again to lift others up.”
Elise’s friend, Angelina Nordstorm told Block Club Chicago that Malary was a “fierce advocate” for transgender people.
She said,

What was the cause of Elise Malary?
Before Elise’s disappearance, she resigned from her job where she had been working for two years. She worked for Attorney General Kwame Raoul.
On Saturday, the organization released a statement,
“Elise was a valued member of our Civil Rights Bureau who, as a tireless advocate for the LGBTQ community, was passionate about her work. Her kindness and infectious smile will be missed by those who worked with her. The Attorney General’s office has lost a member of our family, and as an office, we are heartbroken.”
Similarly, she was engaged in a Chicago Therapy Collective statement at the time. The non-profit firm released a statement on Wednesday before she was found dead. The statement reads, Malary “faced some personal loss in recent months” and “also occasionally expressed concern about her safety.”
According to police and authorities, the doors of her residence were unlocked that’s very unusual for Elise. As she was someone who kept her safety as the topmost priority, according to her sister.
In an interview, her sister disclosed that Elise was a target for many people due to her stature in the LGBTQ community.
