Very sorry to hear this -- Bruce King was a Democrat of the old school and his wife a very, very gracious lady who worked hard as an advocate for children. Unlike her husband who could mangle words worse than George Bush, I remember her as an elegant speaker and companion to the governor unlike our current governor whose wife stays out of the limelight. I had the honor one night of being invited to dinner at the mansion with them in the company of an out of state delegation dealing with drinking water issues. Unfortunately, that afternoon I came down with the flu and had a temperature of at least 102. But I wasn't about to miss the opportunity but it all isn't too clear what went on!

I admit I’ve not heard of her, If she stood up for anything she can be proud of, well then we can certainly give both a moment of silence and solace. I hope she gets to go where she belongs.
It’s very hard to talk about those that go before us, We as Conserves do not, in any way play partizen when it comes to the passing of nice folk. whether they belong to “this or that” party. If she was cool enough, and did’nt do nothing goofy, I say God ‘forgiver her transgressioins’ if she even ever made any. GB her survivors.

I dealt with Gov. King frequently when a (conservative) newspaper man in southwest NM, and I really liked him as well as his gracious wife. May she rest in peace.
A couple of Kingisms (paraphrased)I recall: When commenting on a thorny issue, “Well, that opens a whole new box of Pandoras.” And, apologizing for a comment that offended feminists, “Gosh, I didn’t mean anything gender by it.”

One hell of a lady.

Prayers for the family.
