Former longtime Cabell County legislator Margarette Leach died Sunday at age 81.
The Herald-Dispatch of Huntington has an article as well as photo gallery and her obituary.
Elected to seven terms in the House of Delegates, Leach's health had been failing for some time. She relied on a motorized scooter to get around the Capitol, and fellow delegates to help her to and from her seat on the House floor. Her health sidelined her during the 2006 campaign, and she became the only incumbent Democrat to lose that November.
Gov. Joe Manchin issued a brief statement on Leach's passing.
