Governor orders flags lowered for former first lady

Gov. Eric Holcomb is ordering flags at state facilities be flown at half-staff in remembrance of former Indiana first lady Susan Bayh and is asking businesses and residents to do the same.

Bayh died last Friday at the age of 61. She was an attorney and the wife of former Governor Evan Bayh. She had been battling brain cancer since 2015.

The family will be holding memorial services at a later date when health conditions allow, so Holcomb is ordering the flags remain at half-staff until sunset on Thursday.
