Edmonds City Councilwoman Peggy Pritchard Olson, who last year announced she had Lou Gehrig’s disease, died this morning. She was 59.
The daughter of Joel Pritchard, the late congressman, lieutenant governor and Republican state legislator, Pritchard Olson was elected to the city council in November 2003. She was re-elected to a four-year term in November 2007 after running unopposed.
“Her last couple years were a great inspiration to a lot of people who saw her in action,” councilman Ron Wambolt said today.
A Great Lady I attended ALS Support Group meetings with Peggy. I loved her spirit, her sense of humor and her humanity. She will be missed. Curt Dooley | Nov 10, 2009 4:46 pm | 0 replies | Request removal
