Barbara Bush, First Lady and Matriarch, Dies

Barbara Bush, Former First Lady and Matriarch of Political Dynasty, Remembered for Her Wit and Compassion

April 18, 2018

HOUSTON, TX – Barbara Bush, the beloved former First Lady and matriarch of one of America’s most prominent political families, passed away on Tuesday at the age of 92. Known for her sharp wit, devotion to literacy, and unwavering support of her family, Bush leaves behind a legacy of public service and personal warmth.

The wife of the 41st U.S. President George H.W. Bush and mother of the 43rd President George W. Bush, Barbara Bush was a fixture in American politics for decades. Her death was confirmed by family spokesman Jim McGrath, who stated that she died at her home in Houston surrounded by loved ones.

Born Barbara Pierce on June 8, 1925, in New York, she married George H.W. Bush in 1945, beginning a partnership that would span over 70 years. As Second Lady during Ronald Reagan’s presidency and later as First Lady from 1989 to 1993, she championed literacy through the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy, believing that reading was key to solving many societal challenges.

Famed for her no-nonsense personality and self-deprecating humor—once joking about her trademark white hair making her 'everybody’s grandmother'—Bush was widely admired for her authenticity. Even in later years, she remained a respected voice, occasionally weighing in on politics with her trademark candor.

Tributes poured in from across the political spectrum, with former presidents, lawmakers, and celebrities praising her grace and dedication. President Donald Trump called her 'an advocate of the American family,' while former President Barack Obama hailed her as 'the rock of a family dedicated to public service.'

She is survived by her husband, five children (including former Florida Governor Jeb Bush), 17 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren. A private funeral is planned, with a public memorial to follow.

Barbara Bush’s passing marks the end of an era, but her impact on literacy, public service, and American life endures. As her husband once said, 'She’s the symbol of what’s good and right in this country.'
