Barbara Bush, the widely admired wife of one president and the fiercely loyal mother of another, died this evening at her home in Houston. She was 92. On Sunday, the office of her husband, former President George Bush, issued a statement saying that after consulting her family and her doctors, she had “decided not to seek additional medical treatment and will instead focus on comfort care.” Dedicated to her family and largely indifferent to glamour, #BarbaraBush played down her role in her husband’s political success. But she was a shrewd and valuable ally, becoming a sought-after speaker in at least 4 national campaigns. While first lady, from 1989 to 1993, she generally refused to talk publicly about contentious issues. But she was vocal in championing causes of her choosing. Literacy was one, and so was civil rights. She often insisted that she stayed out of her husband’s concerns, but few who knew her believed that she would ever hesitate to tell him her views. “You have to have influence,” she said in 1992. “When you’ve been married 47 years, if you don’t have any influence, then I really think you’re in deep trouble.” Our staff photographer George Tames took this portrait at the vice president’s official residence in 1984.
