Ohio Dems honor “My Girl” Rep. Tubbs Jones
DENVER - Ohio Democrats celebrated the life of U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones of Cleveland as they gathered for their last breakfast meeting at the Democratic National Convention.
The Rev. Marvin McMickle, a Baptist minister, said on Thursday, Aug. 28, that he and Tubbs Jones, who died last week, both were fans of the Temptations. In Tubbs Jones’ honor, he recited the words to the group’s classic “My Girl.”
Dayton Mayor Rhine McLin joined other members of Delta Sigma Theta, in a singing tribute to their departed sorority sister.
Gov. Ted Strickland remembered a last meeting with Tubbs Jones.
“She gave me a hug. She kissed me on the cheek and she told me she loved me,” said Strickland said.
