(MSC News)--Flags will fly at half-staff across all state buildings, grounds, and facilities in Kansas to honor the memory of former Congresswoman Martha Keys.

Keys, a Democrat, served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1975 to 1979, becoming, as Kelly says in a release, "the second woman to represent Kansas in the United States Congress."

Keys died in December of last year at the age of 94.

Flags, in her honor, are to be flown half-staff from sunup to sundown Monday.

Kelly, in the release, calls Keys a "trailblazer," whose "work has left a lasting impact on our state and our nation."
