Longtime Republican state Rep. Jeanette Wallace passed away Friday at the age of 77, according to the Los Alamos Monitor.
Wallace will lie in state Wednesday at the Roundhouse, the paper reported Saturday.
Wallace had served in the state House since 1991, representing the Los Alamos area.
Gov. Susana Martinez issued a statement following reports of Wallace’s passing:
“Jeannette dedicated two decades of her life to serving New Mexico in the state legislature. She was a tireless advocate for the people of Los Alamos, Sandoval, and Santa Fe Counties – committed to public service even as her health was fading over the past few months. Chuck and I offer our deepest condolences to Jeannette’s family and friends, and we will keep them in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time,” said Governor Martinez. “Representative Wallace’s passing is a loss for all of us who have had the pleasure to work with her. She will be deeply missed.”
