Bobby Glover of Carlisle, a former state senator and longtime Arkansas Board of Corrections member, died Wednesday morning.
Glover, 85, a Democrat, was originally appointed to the Board of Corrections by then-Gov. Mike Beebe in February 2011, and he was reappointed by Beebe in 2014 and by Gov. Asa Hutchinson, a Republican, in February 2021.
Glover began his public service career in 1963 when he became the mayor of Carlisle, where he served for 10 years. He was a 28-year veteran of the Arkansas General Assembly off and on since 1973.
