Local leaders pay respects
"For so many years, she's been a leading light for all women. Her friendliness and warmth will be missed, but we can take solace that she was a role model for women worldwide." Utah Gov. Olene Walker
"I think this is a real loss for Utah. I have enjoyed Mrs. Hinckley's company at many public events. She is a beloved figure, and my mother (Norma Matheson) thought Mrs. Hinckley was a wonderful person. I think we all benefit from the example she set for people throughout the world." Rep. Jim Matheson, D-Utah
"Sister Marjorie Hinckley epitomized the perfect wife and mother. She was loving, loyal, kind, supportive and a giver of service all of her life to her husband, family and her fellow men and women. . . . Elaine and I send our deepest sympathies to President Hinckley and pray for his comfort and peaceful acceptance." Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah
"Our community is grieved over her death, and we give our condolences to the Hinckley family and the LDS community at large. We are partners with them in this period of grief." Imam Shuaib-Ud Din of the Khadeeja mosque in West Valley City
"Marjorie Hinckley will be missed and remembered around the world as a woman who consistently exuded warmth, kindness and unwavering faith. For 67 years, she kept up with President Hinckley, who still seems to have the energy and stamina of a vigorous young man. On behalf of all the people of Salt Lake City, I convey our deepest sympathies and best wishes to President Hinckley and his family." Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson
