To say that any Chapter's record of service could never have become a reality without our Past Matrons and Past Patrons, would be one of the biggest understatements in history. Our Past Matrons and Past Patrons have strived to make the pathway of our Eastern Star service as smooth as possible by providing leadership, fellowship, guidance, friendship, and purpose, inspiring the rest of us to continue on in the work of our beautiful Order, no matter what the obstacles.

Each of our Past Matrons and Patrons have fulfilled, with unending loyalty, the principles promulgated by the heroines of our Order:

• Fidelity to a righteous cause, to keep the vows taken at the altar.

• Constancy to the welfare of kindred and friends, to move forward despite adversity.

• Loyalty to assist those in need of help, to persevere with courage.

• Faith to believe in a Supreme Being and the promises of eternal life, to work for an Order dedicated to reaching the highest goals of human existence.

• Love to promote Charity and Hospitality, to expand and extend the boundaries of our efforts to make the principles for which we strive an honest reality.

One of the beautiful compensations of life is that no one can sincerely try to help another without uplifting or bettering one self.  Our Past Matrons and Patrons have given their respective Chapters years of service with love, kindness, and charity in action.  The beauty of their service is in the spirit that prompts it and those of us who are inspired by it.  

Throughout the years, they have found pleasure in assisting those who have followed them in line and we sincerely appreciate everything they have done.  Thank you for your years of continued devotion to not only your individual Chapters, but to the Order of the Eastern Star.
