Former U.S First Lady Nancy Reagan dies at 94
Nancy Reagan, wife of former President Ronald Reagan, and former actress
who was fiercely protective of her husband through a Hollywood career,
eight years in the White House, an assassination attempt and his
Alzheimer's disease, died Sunday, 6th March, 2016 at age 94. She died of congestive heart
failure in her Los Angeles home, her representative Joanne Drake said in
a statement.
She is one of the most influential first ladies in the history of the U.S during her husband's presidency between 1981 and 1989. She'll be buried next to her husband at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.
Prior to her 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.
