Former Governor To Lie In State At Capitol On Tuesday

Former Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell will lie in state Tuesday, December 3, at the State Capitol in Hartford. The public is invited to pay their respects from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. before her funeral service at Saint Joseph’s Cathedral. Governor Rell, who took office in 2004, was known for her open-door approach, hosting public events across the state to connect with residents. Nearly 1,000 people attended her first open house at the Capitol, with similar gatherings held in other Connecticut cities, including Danbury.
