Reporting live, Danielle Miller, fox 10 news. Thanks, danielle. She was a state treasure. There is no other way to put it, rose mofford, the states first female governor, died today. She was 94 years old. She had been in hospice care last month when she was injured led. A native of globe arizona, mofford was a trailblazer for women in politics in arizona. Mofford was an arizona democrat who started her political career as an office secretary, eventually rising through the ranks to become the first female secretary of state in arizona, and then she went on to become our first female governor. She served as governor from 1988 to 1991. And today people across the state and across the country mourning the loss of rose flags were lowered to half staff to honor our former governor. And those who knew and loved rose mofford are finding their own ways to pay tribute to her. Marcy jones joins us live now to show us what an amazing life in those 94 years. Absolutely. And we are here outside of phoenix city grill, where rose was a regular. Now, they say that the table that eventually became roses, she picked it because it was right next to the door, and it them, laugh. They say thats what they are going to miss the most. Rose mofford to me stands for someone who fought for social issues for people, equality, and we need more politicians like that these days. Reporter not only was rose mofford a pioneer and a fierce politician, she was also a woman about town. There is nothing more arizonan than governor rose mofford. So we named the room after her, made a drink is the most popular drink on the list as well. It even has a corner dedicated to governor rose. This is her table, her plaque here. And it is a corner, we have customers come all the time and request this table just to be at her table and kind of share a little bit of our history. They say because she did so much for the community, they wanted not only to show her a fabulous time, but also make her feel a little special. We used to talk about rolling and so at one point in time, our owner, sheldon, rented a red carpet for her and rolled out that red carpet for her and brought her over to her table, and this was her favorite spot. Reporter of course, this is just one of the many fun aspects of rose. And i had to ask if she had a favorite dish that she ordered all the time, and the answer was chicken pot pie. Obviously, a woman with impeccable taste in more ways than one. Reporting live, marcy jones, fox 10 news. That figures for a woman from glove that she liked something Pretty Simple in the end. Governor doug ducey calls mofford an arizona treasure. He says rising through the ranks of State Government to our states top office, she shattered a once unbreakable Glass Ceiling and served as an unparalleled model too many, a former treasure that will surely and governor jan brewer says she considered her for a true friend for the 40 years she knew her. Earlier tonight, i spoke to former mayor goddard about moffords legacy. He knew her quite well. She became governor following the impeachment of evan mecham in 19 88. And she was to fill the vacancy. She had no vision as to party. She was completely open to anybody in any part of arizona, and they were her friends. They were truly her friends. And so when she took over the governorship in a time of incredible division, incredible hostilities, and frankly a lot of doubt about whether arizona could survive. You know, it was a rough time, and she came in and she healed the waters. State to people to pull together, and i think it gave us all hope. It did. Mofford was an amazing person in that regard, that she could heal the divisions just with that smile that lit up a room. Goddard says mofford never stopped giving in her later years in life and was one of the most generous people he ever met. She married a Phoenix Police captain back in 97 divorced, had no children. There will be a public mass, and the date for that has not been announced yetment a shooting overnight, one suspect taken into custody, the other suspect ran off from police.

Im sorry for the accident. I was going to say get well soon. Thank you for protecting our community and keep believing and dont give up. Get well soon. He said, keep healing, and and he said, well, i dont mean physical, because your bones break and then you heal. I mean they want to go back and do their job. You know, healing isnt just about you Getting Better physically, but its about wanting to continue doing what you love. That is the fourth grade teacher who is in charge that classroom, and she helped the kids pull this all together. This is the man accused of running the Police Officers down with his car. Hes behind bars tonight facing attempted murder charges and Assault Charges as well. Across america, a man attacks new york Police Officers with a meat cleaver in the middle of manhattan rush hour.

People may love their kitty cats, but those litter i mean, whether we like it or not, it does smell. Its awful. But you love the cats anyway, so you put up with it. Valley entrepreneur dwayne baker felt the same way. I got tired of the smell. I got tired of waking up in the morning to the overwhelming smell of the litter box.
