Biography of a municipal councillor in a small town (pop. 18K now, 5K when she was in office), making no strong claim of notability under WP:NPOL and relying almost entirely on terrible sourcing — photographs, election results tables and a newspaper obituary of her daughter — which fails to satisfy WP:GNG. "Existed" is not what gets a person into Wikipedia — "satisfies a Wikipedia inclusion criterion" is, and this article as written fails to present or source any evidence that its subject does so.

 * Delete No demonstation of this person being even close to notable. She was a local politician who made no lasting impact. Also problematic that so many of the sources are primary ones.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:51, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete Although this is early in history for a female politician, I could not find enough reliable sources to argue keep. Searched both maiden and married names. No prejudice against a new article, if someone publishes or finds  articles or books covering her career.E.M.Gregory (talk) 14:34, 2 June 2015 (UTC)
