TALLAHASSEE — From political and legal trailblazers to longtime education and corrections leaders, here are some of the people who died in 2021 after leaving marks on Florida politics, government and the courts:

— ANNE CAWTHON BOOTH: When Gov. Reubin Askew appointed Anne Cawthon Booth to the 1st District Court of Appeal in 1978, she became the state’s first woman appellate judge, according to the Tallahassee-based court. Booth, who died in June at age 87, served until 2005, including a stint from 1985 to 1987 as the first woman to preside as a chief judge of an appellate court.
