Harrisburg, Pa. (AP) - State officials say Lt. Gov. Catherine Baker Knoll will be just the second person to have her casket displayed in the current Pennsylvania Capitol.
The 78-year-old Knoll died Wednesday evening after a four-month battle with neuroendocrine cancer.
The Rendell administration says Knoll's casket will be in the Capitol Rotunda from noon on Nov. 21 to 2 p.m. the following day.
Her casket will then be on display Nov. 23 at St. Paul Cathedral in Pittsburgh.
A funeral Mass and divine liturgy will be held Nov. 25. Funeral services and interment will be private.
The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to Knoll's favorite charity, Angel's Place in Pittsburgh.
The casket of former House Speaker Matthew J. Ryan was also displayed at the Capitol in April 2003.
