Three Notable Figures Pass Away At Different Milestones

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
Nancy Kassebaum Baker broke gender barriers in the Senate, while Sean Grayson's death ends a controversial case of police violence.

Nancy Kassebaum Baker, the first woman elected to the US Senate without following a spouse, died at 94. Jo Gardiner, a Race Across the World star, died of cancer at 61, one year after her son's death. Sean Grayson, convicted for killing Sonya Massey, died in prison at 32 from colon cancer.
