Well-wishers from across the district packed the St. Croix Legislature Thursday to pay their final respects to former Sen. Alicia “Chucky” Hansen as her body lies in state.
The former senator, who was affectionately known as “Chucky,” passed away at the age of 70. Hansen served an impressive 11 terms in the Legislature, where she held the positions of secretary, White House Liaison, and vice president of the Senate.
Members of the 35th Legislature also paid their respects during the public viewing of the late senator. As mourners consoled one another, a slide show played on the screens of memories of the former senator.
Funeral services for the late senator will be held on Friday at the Friedensthal Moravian Church in Christiansted, with viewing at 9 a.m. and the service at 10 a.m., followed by interment at Kingshill Cemetery.
