The full statement prior to her passing is below:
“Following a recent series of hospitalizations and after consulting with her family and doctors, Mrs. Bush, now age 92, has decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort care. It will not surprise those who know her that Barbara Bush has been a rock in the face of her failing health, worrying not for herself — thanks to her abiding faith — but for others. She is surrounded by a family she adores, and appreciates the many kind messages and especially the prayers she is receiving.”
She was being cared for at her home in Houston and chose not to go back into the hospital. The Bushes had been married for over 73 years. Bush was the only living wife of one former President and the mother of another former President.
She passed away surrounded by her family and loved ones by her side.
She is survived by her loving husband of over 73 years, their six children, fourteen grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.
A real love story:
RIP… “Love You Barbie”
