So sad. Such an important person as part of the team that helped our nation come back from the brink. I had th ehonor of meeting her once. A lovely, generous woman. May she rest in peace.
Nancy Reagan, the widow of President Ronald Reagan and passionately devoted keeper of his flame, died Sunday morning of congestive heart failure at 94, according to her spokesperson.
Reagan died at her home in Los Angeles. She’s set to be buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, next to her husband. Prior to the funeral, there will be an opportunity for members of the public to pay their respects at the Library, the spokesperson said. Details had not yet been announced Sunday afternoon.
Reagan, whose husband died in 2004, had appeared frail after suffering several falls in recent years. In May 2012 it was disclosed she had broken several ribs in a fall at her Los Angeles home six weeks earlier.Although she initially worked as an actress, the former first lady was, first and foremost, Mrs. Ronald Reagan.
“My life really began when I married my husband,” Nancy Reagan once said, and for 52 years of marriage they were a fiercely close and devoted couple.
“Thank God we found each other,” she said in a 1998 interview. “Can’t imagine life without him.”

Nancy Reagan brought elegance, class and grace to the White House. A beautiful person inside and out. I loved both of the Reagans. You will be missed Mrs. Reagan – Say “hi” to Ronnie for us all.
Well said, Pamela. Very sad to hear these news. Mrs. Reagan: an example that all first ladies should follow.
Love so strong, she willed herself through one more anniversary. Wed on March 4, 1952.
RIP Mrs. Reagan
We love you, Nancy. Thank you for being a shining example of what a First Lady should be. The Reagans will always be with us as their legacy is everlasting. Until we meet again, rest in peace.
