Obit: Mo Mowlam, Irish Peace Negotiator
Author: Jill Lawless, AP Source: CBS
Title: IRISH PEACE NEGOTIATOR DEAD AT 55
British politician Mo Mowlam, whose no-nonsense negotiating as Northern Ireland secretary helped forge the province's landmark peace accord, died Friday, a family spokesman was quoted as telling Britain's Press Association news agency. She was 55.
Prime Minister Tony Blair paid tribute to his former Cabinet minister, saying she had transformed the politics of Northern Ireland and played a key role in the revival of his Labour Party.
"Mo was surely one of the most remarkable and colorful personalities ever to come into politics. Great company, utterly irreverent, full of life and fun," Blair said in a statement released by his Downing Street office.
Mowlam was admitted to King's College Hospital in London earlier this month, reportedly after hitting her head in a fall. She was transferred last week to a hospice in Canterbury, southern England.
The Press Association said Mowlam had never regained consciousness, and had suffered balance problems after receiving radiotherapy treatment for a brain tumor.

While living in Great Britain, I came to respect Mo as a politician and as a person. She always came across as someone you'd like to have as a friend, someone who'd be a good laugh.
Rest in peace, Mo.
