Mary Anne Krupsak, the first woman elected to be New York's lieutenant governor, has died at the age of 92. 

According to her obituary, Krupsak died on Dec. 28 in her home on Seneca Lake.

Krupsak was born in Schenectady and grew up in nearby Amsterdam.

She represented the area in the state Assembly and Senate before running in the Democratic primary for lieutenant governor in 1974, when she beat Mario Cuomo to be Gov. Hugh Carey's running mate, and then became the first woman to be lieutenant governor.

She would serve in that role through the end of 1978.

"Deeply saddened by the loss of Mary Anne Krupsak, New York’s first female lieutenant governor," Gov. Kathy Hochul, the first woman elected governor in the state, posted on X. "I worked on her campaign while in high school in 1974, and I was proud to follow in her footsteps forty years later. Our thoughts are with her family and loved ones."
