CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) - Loraine B. McGee, widow of former Wyoming U.S. Sen. Gale McGee, died Tuesday at a Maryland hospital from a heart attack and the effects of dementia, according to her family. She was 90.

"She was really attached to Wyoming," her son, Robert McGee, of Chevy Chase, Md., said Friday.

When she could no longer travel to the family home near Dubois, she always asked family members who did get back to the state about friends and acquaintances, he said.

Services for Mrs. McGee, who died at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, Md., will be held next Wednesday at Gawlers Funeral Home in Washington, D.C., according to Robert McGee.

Mrs. McGee, who was born in Pierson, Iowa, married Gale McGee in 1939. McGee, a Democrat, represented Wyoming in the U.S. Senate from 1959-1977. He died April 9, 1992.

In the 1960s, Mrs. McGee wrote a column for Wyoming newspapers called "A Line from Loraine," in which she reported her observations of life in Washington.

She is survived by a son, two daughters and 10 grandchildren.
