SHELLSBURG, Iowa (AP) -- The mayor-elect of a small town in
eastern Iowa has died just days before she was set to take office.
The Gazette (http://bit.ly/uzCotW ) reports that 70-year-old
Joyce Pence died at her home in Shellsburg on Friday.
Cedar Memorial Park & Funeral Home confirmed the death Monday,
but said it had no information on the cause.
Pence was elected mayor for a two-year term in the November
election, and was going to take office during the city council's
next meeting in January.
She was a retired vice president at United Security Bank who
founded the Shellsburg Farmers Market in 2007.
A service celebrating her life is scheduled for Friday at the
Wildcat Golf Course Clubhouse.
Shellsburg is a town of 1,000 people about 20 miles west of
Cedar Rapids.
