FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PSC Saddened by Passing of Retired
Commissioner Anne Boyle
Lincoln, FEBRUARY 2019 – The Nebraska Public Service
Commission (PSC) extends its heartfelt condolences to
the family of long-time District 2, Commissioner Anne
Boyle. Boyle, 77, passed away at her home in Omaha
on Saturday, February 2.
“Anne was a nationally recognized leader because she
dedicated her life to fighting for people who need it the
most,” said District 2, Commissioner Crystal Rhoades.
“She was guided by values, not politics, and she set the
bar for good governance and leadership.”
Elected to the Commission in 1996, Boyle was the first
female to serve on the PSC and was the first female chair
of the Commission, a position she held numerous times
during her nearly 20-year tenure. A staunch democrat,
Boyle was respected for her ability to reach across party
lines when needed to ensure Nebraskans received the
quality services they deserved.
“Our thoughts are with Mike and their family during this
very difficult time,” said Commission Chair Mary Ridder.
“While I did not have the pleasure of serving with Anne,
everyone at the PSC has benefited from the contributions
she made during a lifetime dedicated to
public service.”
Services for retired Commissioner Anne Boyle will be held
beginning at 11:00 a.m., Saturday, February 9, at Heafey
Hoffmann Dworak Cutler Funeral Home, in Omaha. ###
