A longtime State Representative has passed away.
Susan Williams Gifford’s office made the announcement saying she passed away Tuesday suddenly from cancer.
She was 64-years-old.
Gifford was first elected State Representative in November of 2002 and represented the 2nd Plymouth District, which includes the towns of Middleboro, Carver, and Wareham, most recently becoming Minority Whip in the House of Representatives.
Prior to that she served as a Wareham Selectman from 1999-2002.
Her office also said that she “worked to deliver the first tax cuts to the state in over 20 years and to make Massachusetts more affordable for all.”
Gifford’s family has requested privacy at this time.
