RIP Greta.
She had a tough time the last two years, losing the election, then her husband, Jim, passing away.
Reviewing her legislative record is a reminder that she was a real fighter for local causes and institutions. At least that's how people are remembering her and that evidence seems to support it. She had a big hand in the veterans home and cemetery, the winfield prison, community homes for the developmentally disabled, the bypass here in Ark City. She fought hard, and successfully, against that lake project idea that upset so many rural residents in the Dexter area.
Toward the end of her political career she became a little embittered and seemed to find enemies where there were none. Not for sure whether this was a real, health-related condition. But one of her memorials is for Alzheimer's research.
