Kathleen Babineaux Blanco, who led Louisiana through Hurricane Katrina as her state’s first elected female governor, has died.
Blanco had battled a rare eye cancer successfully in 2011, but that later returned and spread to her liver.
Her death came more than a year after the Democrat who served in state government offices for more than two decades announced she was in a “fight for my own life, one that will be difficult to win.” Blanco was governor from 2004 to 2008. Katrina stopped her plans to run for re-election. She was panned as unprepared, overwhelmed and indecisive, though views of her performance have moderated since the 2005 storm.
