WASHINGTON, United States – Former First Lady of the United States, Babara Bush is dead. She was 92. In a statement announcing the demise of the lady, the White House said the former First Lady Barbara Bush passed away yesterday in Houston, Texas.

The statement added that President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump joined the Nation in celebrating the life of Barbara Bush.
“As a wife, mother, grandmother, military spouse, and former First Lady, Mrs. Bush was an advocate of the American family. Amongst her greatest achievements was recognizing the importance of literacy as a fundamental family value that requires nurturing and protection. She will be long remembered for her strong devotion to country and family, both of which she served unfailingly well. The President and First Lady’s thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Mrs. Bush”, the White House said, adding that the U.S. flag will fly at half-mast until sunset of the day that Mrs. Bush is laid to rest.
