State Sen. Malone's funeral set for Thursday
RALEIGH (AP) — The funeral for a North Carolina state senator has been scheduled for his church in Raleigh.
Sen. Vernon Malone, a four-term Democrat, died Saturday at his home at age 77. A family spokesman said Malone's funeral will be noon Thursday at Martin Street Baptist Church. He will be buried later in the day at a Raleigh cemetery.
Visitation will be Wednesday night at the church, with a viewing earlier in the day at Lea Funeral Home in Raleigh.
Malone was a school board chairman who presided over the merger of the Raleigh and Wake County schools in the 1970s. He most recently served as co-chairman of the Senate education budget subcommittee.
Wake County Democrats will pick a replacement to serve out the remainder of Malone's two-year term.
