Breaking News: Former US First Lady Barbara Bush Is Dead At 92 2
Former US first lady Barbara Bush has died. She died on Tuesday at the age of 92. She was the matriarchal figure of a political dynasty that included two presidents – her husband George H.W Bush and son George W Bush.
The news was made public by the office of former President Geroge H.W Bush released a statement saying:
”A former first lady of the United States of America and relentless proponent of family literacy, Barbara Pierce Bush passed away Tuesday, April 17, 2018 at the age of 92.”
Barbara Bush has long been considered the rock at the center of one of America’s most prominent political families, as the wife of a president and the mother to another — George W. Bush — and to Jeb Bush, a former Florida governor and onetime presidential aspirant.
She first met her husband-to-be at the age of 16 when she was a schoolgirl and he was a student at an elite preparatory school in Massachusetts. They married in 1945 while he was on leave from wartime service as a naval officer. The couple had six children.
As first lady, from 1989 to 1993, she embraced the cause of universal literacy, and founded a foundation for family literacy.
As tributes poured in to honor the life of Barbara Bush, President Donald Trump hailed her as an “advocate of the American family.”
Amongst  her greatest achievements was recognizing the importance of literacy as a fundamental family value that requires nurturing and protection,” Trump said.
“She will be long remembered for her strong devotion to country and family, both of which she served unfailingly well.”
Former President, Barack Obama and his wife Michelle said:
We will always be grateful to Mrs Bush for the generosity she showed to us throughout our time in the White House.”
“But we’re even more grateful for the way she lived her life –- as a testament to the fact that public service is an important and noble calling; as an example of the humility and decency that reflects the very best of the American spirit,” they added.
