STATEMENT FROM GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY ON THE PASSING OF PATRICIA HUGHES

ANNAPOLIS, MD (January 20, 2010) – Governor Martin O’Malley issued this statement today following the death of Patricia Hughes, wife of former Maryland Governor Harry Hughes.

“My thoughts, and the thoughts and prayers of all Marylanders, are with the family of Patricia Hughes on this very difficult and sad day.

“Anyone involved in public service in Maryland has seen Patricia’s devotion to her family – her husband of nearly 60 years and their two children – and to the preservation of Maryland’s natural and historical treasures. As a teacher, she believed in the dignity of every individual, and that every person has potential that we, as a community, have an obligation to help unlock.

“Her life and legacy serving her family and our State touched the lives of thousands of Marylanders and reminds us all that a life lived for others is the greatest of gifts.

“We will miss Patricia greatly.”
