Longest serving female Ohio legislator — who once walked away mid-term — dies at 99
COLUMBUS — A 24-year Toledo veteran of the Ohio General Assembly — who at one point, disillusioned with politics, simply walked away from the statehouse in mid-term — died Tuesday just days shy of her 100th birthday. In a pre-term limits era, Marigene Valiquette served six years in the House of Representatives and 18 in the Senate from 1962 to 1986, becoming the longest serving woman. At one point she was the only woman in the Senate. Decades after walking away from politics, she spent her final years in a central Ohio assisted-living facility. "She just kind of walked away," said her friend and former Ohio Senate colleague from the Dayton area, Neal Zimmers. "They said she disappeared, but that wasn't really the case. She just left and didn't stay in touch with people afterward."
