HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Catherine Baker Knoll, who at age 72 became the first woman to be elected as Pennsylvania's lieutenant governor, died Wednesday. She was 78. Franklin County Democrats knew Knoll as a person willing to come and speak at our dinners and picnics. She loved meeting people throughout the state.
Gov. Ed Rendell said in a statement:
"Today we mourn the passing of one of the strongest, most dedicated public servants in Pennsylvania's history," Rendell said. "Our thoughts and prayers are with Catherine's family. She will be deeply missed."
