Wife of Former Governor Dies

Jane Harris Davies Shafer, the widow of former Pennsylvania Governor Raymond P. Shafer, has died. She was 92.

Shafer's daughter, Diane Shafer Dominick, says her mother died Monday after extended treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

Her husband served from 1967 to 1971, when Pennsylvania governors were limited to one term. Gov. Shafer, a Republican, succeeded Gov. William Scranton, after serving a term under Scranton as lieutenant governor.

Shafer and her husband met at Allegheny College in Meadville and married in 1941.
