Former State Rep. Ernestine Glossbrenner dead at 79
ALICE — Longtime state Rep. Ernestine Glossbrenner, from Alice, died on Sunday morning at Christus Spohn Hospital Shoreline.
She was 79.
<<snip>>
First elected to serve the same year as the late Rep. Irma Rangel, Glossbrenner in her freshman session successfully co-sponsored a bill guaranteeing anonymity in elections by scrapping a longtime requirement that people sign their ballots.
The law was praised as a key protection for voters in rural counties such as Duval that used paper ballots and where officials were suspected of using the requirement to intimidate people into voting a certain way.

[font color=green]While there were some cruel jokes about her physical appearance, Glossbrenner was sharp as a tack and was an advocate for public education. Her other vocation was a math teacher. Condolences to her friends and family. Those who remember you will miss you![/font]
