| Description | Margaret Rayburn, a longtime Grandview resident, schoolteacher and former state legislator, died Tuesday in Sunnyside. She was 86.
Rayburn served five terms in the Legislature, representing the 15th Legislative District before retiring in 1995.
Colleagues and friends described her as a strong woman who worked with other legislators for the best interests of her constituents and paid no attention to party affiliation.
She was the last Democrat to represent the Lower Yakima Valley legislative district. She served as chairwoman of the House Agriculture and Rural Development Committee and was a member of the House Education Committee. |
