Barbara Boyd, who had been dealing with health problems for several years, died while surrounded by family members.
Former State Representative Barbara Boyd died Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, at the age of 80. CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, Ohio — Barbara Boyd, a former Cleveland Heights City Council member who served multiple terms as a state representative, died Saturday at the age of 80, according to reports.
In 1993, she was elected as a state representative for the Ninth District, her first of two stints in the Ohio Statehouse. She had to leave office after the 2000 election because of term limits, but was reelected in 2006 and served through 2014. Her daughter, Janine Boyd, was elected to replace her and served until April 2022.
“You serve a purpose greater than just being on the House floor,” Boyd said in 2013. “You are there to educate. You are there to work with your constituents.” Black Women’s PAC President Elaine Gohlstin said Boyd “was a trailblazer for Black and other women and will be sorely missed.”. Boyd was the key to a campaign to grant Cleveland Heights a 99-year lease on the neglected parcels of land that now include picnic shelters and a ball field, as well as a playground.
