At the direction of the president of the United States, Gov. Josh Green has ordered the U.S. flag and the Hawaii state flag to be flown at half-staff in honor of trailblazing U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, who died on Friday at the age of 90.

The flags will be flown at half-staff at the State Capitol and all state offices and agencies as well as the Hawaii National Guard in the state until sunset on Thursday, the day of Feinstein’s interment, according to a news release.

“Dianne Feinstein’s extensive career in the Senate has not only impacted California, but has also resonated across the nation, including here in Hawaii,” Green said in a news release. “Her dedication to public service and her advocacy on important issues have been felt far beyond her home state. My thoughts are with her and her family during this time.”

In November 1992, Feinstein became California’s first female U.S. senator and she was also San Francisco’s first female and Jewish mayor.
