Jodi Rell's Legacy Honored at Hartford Funeral

Former Connecticut Governor M. Jodi Rell, who passed away at age 78, is being remembered for her leadership and integrity. She served as the state's second female governor from 2004 to 2011, stepping into the role after former Governor John Rowland resigned amid a corruption scandal. Rell is credited with restoring trust and stability in Connecticut's government, and she is remembered for her bipartisan approach and dedication to the people of the state. A public funeral service will be held at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Hartford, following a period for the public to pay their respects at the state Capitol. Gov. Ned Lamont and others will deliver eulogies highlighting Rell's compassionate nature and impactful governance. Rell will be buried at the Connecticut State Veterans Cemetery, alongside her husband.
