"Former First Lady of the United States, tireless advocate for family education, Barbara Pierce Bush, passed away on April 17, 2018 at the age of 92," ABC News quoted a statement from the office of former US President George HW Bush.

Mrs. Bush had been hospitalized several times for heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, the former first lady decided to stop treatment and return to her hometown of Texas to "be surrounded by the family she loves."

Barbara Bush was the First Lady of the United States from 1989 to 1993, under former President George H. W. Bush. She is also the mother of former President George W. Bush, who served from 2000 to 2008.

Barbara Bush is one of two US first ladies whose husbands and sons both became president. The other is Abigail Adams, wife of the second US president John Adams and mother of the sixth president John Quincy Adams./.
