TOLEDO, Ore. - Sharon Branstiter, the mayor of Toledo for the last 10 years, died unexpectedly at her home at age 63.

Branstiter died Sunday morning while recovering from double bypass surgery performed earlier this month.

Those in Toledo remember as a woman who loved gardening -- both at home and in the community of less than 4,000 near the Oregon Coast. Her daughter, Marnie Jacobson, says her mother had a passion for wanting to make Toledo beautiful. Once that happened, she said, people in the town were proud of it."
