Hundreds of well-wishers ignored brisk temperatures to pay their respects to Kentucky's first female governor on Sunday in Frankfort.

After lying in state at the Old State Capitol rotunda, a public funeral service was held for Martha Layne Collins, who passed away on Nov. 1 at the age of 88.

She will be interred in a private burial service on Monday in the Frankfort Cemetery.

Collins served as governor from 1983 to 1987, becoming the first woman to hold the state's highest office.
