Rep. Millender-McDonald dies at 68

WASHINGTON - Rep. Juanita Millender-McDonald, D-Calif., died early Sunday of cancer, an aide said.

Millender-McDonald, who was 68, died at her home in Carson, Calif., said her chief of staff, Bandele McQueen.

McQueen could provide no details on what form of cancer Millender-McDonald had. He said she had been receiving hospice care.

The congresswoman had asked for a four- to six-week leave of absence from the House last week to deal with her illness.

She was in her seventh term representing a heavily Democratic Southern California district that includes Compton, Long Beach and parts of Los Angeles.

“California and the nation have lost a great friend and public servant,” said California Democratic Party Chairman Art Torres, who served with Millender-McDonald in the California state Legislature. “She was a champion for the consumer and fought injustice wherever she saw it. She always valued public service and served her state and nation with grace and honor.”

Condolences are extended to Soror McDonald's family.

Sorors (who attended), Wasn't she in Nashville at Boule?

I wasn't there but I saw pictures of Soror Millender-McDonald at Boule. When I worked on the Hill, she represented her district and Alpha Kappa Alpha with style and grace. She will sorely be missed. Her family and constituents are in my prayers.

I think I remember Soror McDonald being at Boule. I had no idea she was ill, however.
RIP, Soror.
