State and city leaders are offering condolences to State. Rep. Allen Treadaway, R-Gardendale, for the passing of his wife, Susan, who died Saturday after a long bout with cancer.
Last year, the Treadaways lost their daughter, Kelsey, in a tragic car accident.
House Speaker Mac McCutcheon said the staff and members of the House of Representatives asked everyone to “lift the Treadaway family up in prayer” amid the news that “Susan took her heavenly flight early this morning.”
