A memorial service for California's late Sen. Dianne Feinstein will be held Thursday afternoon in San Francisco, Calif.
Vice-President Kamala Harris is expected to be one of the attendees paying respects.
Feinstein spent much of her career in the U.S. Senate, but will be known as the forever mayor of San Francisco, a role she inherited in tragedy. She was president of the Board of Supervisors in November 1978 when a former supervisor assassinated Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk, the city’s first openly gay supervisor, at city hall.
Feinstein, who found Milk’s body, became acting mayor and won election twice to serve as mayor until 1988.
Feinstein died early Friday in her Washington, D.C., home of natural causes, said Adam Russell, a spokesperson for her office. She was 90.
