Ronald Reagan Wife Former First Lady Nancy Dies

Former first lady, Nancy Reagan, has passed away. She was the wife of late, former President Ronald Reagan. She was born in New York City on July 6, 1921

Nancy had been living at her estate in Bel Air, California and has been in failing health in recent years.

Mrs. Reagan married Ronald in 1952 and went on to became a First Lady who at first was severely criticized for her fancy taste — particularly in china — but went on to become beloved, along with her husband. Nancy was a former actress who starred in B movies, before meeting her future husband. She was fiercely loyal to Ronald and extremely protective, often getting in his ear about White House staffers she thought were less than loyal. In one famous moment during Ronald Reagan’s presidency, he was asked a difficult question and Nancy whispered an answer, “We’re doing the best we can.” During her time as First Lady, she created the “Just Say No” to drugs campaign. h/t tmz

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Nancy’s friends and family at this difficult time.
