Senator had been struggling with poor health
MAVOCKE--Veteran Democratic-Reformist Senator Sheila Crouwsky of Province of Grassadellia has passed away at her home in Mavocke. She was 79 years old.
A spokeswoman from the senator's office released a statement to the National Press Federation (NPF) saying Crouwsky died due to heart complications. The statement did not specify what kind of complications, although the senator has had several minor heart attacks in recent years.
"At approximately 8:35 pm eastern time on Sunday, May 15, 2011, Senator Sheila Crouwsky (DR-POG) died from heart complications at her home in Mavocke," the statement read.
It went on to say the senator was "a champion for Province of Grassadellia and the Democratic-Reformist Party," and praised her work for senior citizens, women, and the environment.
The senator's office will hold a press conference tomorrow in Mavocke. A lengthier statement is expected to be released.
President Menuhaeo was told of Crouwsky's passing, and Collester released a statement Sunday night, saying the President is "deeply saddened" and that "the people of POG will never be the same without a strong voice like Sheila Crouwsky's fighting for their behalf."
Menuhaeo served with Crouwsky in the Senate for two terms before being elected President.
POG Gov. Donna Almone also released a statement, sending her "deepest condolences" to the Crouwsky family and asked all POGers to keep the family in their thoughts and prayers.
"I know from experience that losing someone so close that you love is difficult," Almone said. "Sheila Crouwsky was an icon in Province of Grassadellia, and tonight, we lost someone we are all close to."
