Memorial service for former Senator Kay Hagan will be Sunday
A memorial service for former U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan will be 2 p.m. Sunday at Greensboro’s First Presbyterian Church.
No further details were available Tuesday.
Hagan died Monday after a three-year battle with encephalitis, caused by Powassan virus.
She was North Carolina’s first Democratic female senator. She took office after defeating Republican Elizabeth Dole in 2008.
Hagan was the niece of former U.S. Sen. Lawton Chiles of Florida. She spent 16 years as a lawmaker in Raleigh and Washington.
The family has asked that memorials be made to Arts Greensboro or Women to Women through the Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro.
