Nancy Reagan, the wife of the late President Ronald Reagan, who served as first lady of the United States between 1981-1989, has passed away at age 94.
Nancy died Sunday, March 6, at her home in Los Angeles, California, the New York Times reported. A spokeswoman for the former first lady confirmed the news to the publication.
The cause of death is congestive heart failure, the statement from Joanne Drake, the spokesperson, said.
Born Nancy Davies, she was an actress by trade, and in 1954, married one of the country’s most prominent actors, Ronald Reagan. Reagan would go on to a better than expected career in politics, first as governor of California between 1967 and 1975, and then eight years in the White House from 1981.
Nancy has been described as one of the most influential first ladies of all time. She was iron willed, and whilst she carried out the largely ceremonial duties of first lady, also held huge sway in the Reagan White House.
Nancy would be buried next to her husband, who died of Alzheimer’s in 2004, at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California.
