Martha Wehrle, the veteran former legislator who represented Kanawha County for more than 20 years in both the House of Delegates and Senate, died Wednesday at age 81.
Though retired from the Legislature since 1995, she remained active in politics. She served as treasurer for the 2008 re-election campaign of U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., a longtime friend.
"Her father was a Republican, her mother a Democrat, but Martha always brought her own unique perspective to issues," Sen. Robert C. Byrd, said Thursday of his fellow Democrat.
The Charleston Daily Mail has a story on her life and passing.
