PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – A major figure in Philadelphia politics and education, has passed away.
74-year-old Happy Fernadez died of complications of a stroke Saturday.
In a town known for rough and tumble politics, Happy Fernandez was different, a strong advocate of public education, a soft spoken but savvy person who was the first woman as a democrat to win an at large council seat; the first woman to run for the nomination for mayor in 1999, although unsuccessful at that point; and served for many years as president of Moore College of Art, raising its profile.
