Longtime legislative services employee dies unexpectedly

Toni Hobbs, a longtime employee of Idaho’s Legislative Services office, passed away unexpectedly in her sleep on Wednesday night, leaving fellow Statehouse workers surprised and mourning. Hobbs, 52, whose official cause of death was an enlarged heart, seemed healthy and active, and had run the Race to Robie Creek several times, reported Mike Nugent, division manager for research and legislation. She showed no signs of distress at work on Wednesday.

“She was a good employee and well-liked by the members,” Nugent said. Funeral services are pending.
