EAST CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A memorial service for Ohio Congresswoman Stephanie Tubbs-Jones will likely be held in Cleveland Saturday, Aug. 30, says a family friend and spokesman.

Colleagues and friends of the Ohio Congresswoman are remembering her accomplishments this morning.

Tubbs-Jones died Wednesday of a brain aneurysm that happened Tuesday while she was driving through Cleveland Heights.

She will be remembered for making huge strides for African-Americans and women in politics. She was the first black woman to represent Ohio in Congress, and to serve on the powerful Ways and Means Committee.

A Super Delegate who initially supported Senator Hillary Clinton for President, the Congresswoman from Ohio's 11th District was a strong critic of the Iraq war.

Initially, news of Tubbs-Jones' death was inaccurate. Apparently an e-mail that was sent to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office spurred a series of news releases and reports that she died, when she was still alive.

Though she opposed many of President Bush's initiatives, the president says the nation is grateful for her service. He's praising the congresswoman's dedication to small business, schools and working Ohioans.

Congressman Dennis Kucinich says his Democratic colleague poured her heart and soul into her job, and the Clinton family calls Tubbs Jones a "one-woman force for progress."
